Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner returned to winning ways at the China Open 2025 in Beijing, producing a dominant performance to beat rising American Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 in the final. The victory marks Sinner’s third trophy of the season and the 21st tour-level title of his career, underlining his consistency on the ATP Tour.
Less than a month after falling short in the US Open final against Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner looked sharp and determined. Facing Tien for the first time, the 24-year-old took control early and never allowed the 19-year-old debut finalist to settle. His precise forehand, which registered a shot quality of 8.8, and relentless baseline pressure broke Tien’s resistance in just 72 minutes.
Historic Win Puts Sinner Among ATP’s Elite
By lifting the China Open title for the second time — having also triumphed here in 2023 — Jannik Sinner joins Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal as the only players to win the Beijing ATP 500 event multiple times. After capturing the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles earlier this year, he now becomes just the fourth player in 2025 to win three or more trophies, with Carlos Alcaraz still leading the pack with eight.
Sinner’s latest success narrows the gap to Alcaraz in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin to 2,590 points. With Alcaraz’s victory in Tokyo, this is the first time since 2020 that the top two players in the rankings have claimed titles during the same week.
Tien Makes Breakthrough as Sinner Eyes Shanghai Glory
Sinner’s focus now shifts to the Shanghai Masters, where he will lead the field following Alcaraz’s withdrawal due to an ankle injury. Despite the defeat, Tien’s impressive run in Beijing boosts him 16 places to a career-high No. 36 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings. The American, who defeated Lorenzo Musetti and Daniil Medvedev on his way to the final, also secures a spot in the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah.
The match statistics highlight Sinner’s dominance: he fired 24 winners against 16 unforced errors, saved both break points he faced, and won 73% of points at the net. Tien, meanwhile, managed 11 winners and committed 18 unforced errors, struggling to match Sinner’s tempo and shot-making.
