World No. 2 Jannik Sinner continued his strong 2025 season with a commanding 6-1, 7-5 win over Fabian Marozsan. The Italian booked his place in the China Open semi-finals in Beijing with another impressive performance. Marozsan pushed hard in the second set, but Sinner stayed composed under pressure to control the match. He won the final three games in a row to seal a straight-sets victory and advance.
Jannik Sinner dominated the opening set with powerful groundstrokes and clinical shot selection, leaving Marozsan with few answers. But the Hungarian raised his level in the second, making the contest far more competitive. He saved four break points to level at 4-4 before breaking Sinner’s serve for the first time, hinting at a possible turnaround.
“Going toe to toe with the 20-time tour-level titlist from the baseline, Marozsan fended off four break points to hold for 4-4,” the report noted. “Yet the World No. 57 was unable to maintain that charge. He produced a sloppy 10th game, in which Sinner broke to love.”
Sinner Shifts Momentum in the Decisive Moments
The Italian quickly regained control after that setback. Taking advantage of Marozsan’s mistakes, Sinner broke back immediately and never looked back. He delivered another clinical break in the 12th game, sealing the win and showing the composure that has defined his rise to the top of men’s tennis.
The result marks Sinner’s third semi-final appearance in Beijing, further highlighting his consistency throughout the 2025 season. It is also his seventh semi-final run in just eight tournaments this year, underlining his status as one of the tour’s most dominant players.
Semi-Final Showdown: Sinner vs De Minaur
Sinner will next face Alex de Minaur, who advanced after Jakub Mensik was forced to retire with the Australian leading 4-1 in their quarter-final clash. The Italian enters Tuesday’s match with a perfect 10-0 Lexus ATP Head2Head record against De Minaur, giving him a psychological edge ahead of their latest meeting.
Already qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals and sitting second in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, Sinner will look to extend his unbeaten streak against De Minaur and take one step closer to the Beijing title.
With momentum firmly on his side and a dominant record over his next opponent, Jannik Sinner remains the clear favorite to advance to the China Open 2025 final in Beijing.
