Carlos Alcaraz will he come to recover his place as dolphin of Jannik Sinner in Chine ? WhileAlexander Zverev is “off” this week, the Murcian is on a war footing Beijing. Sunday, after having dropped Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard without doubt (6-4, 6-4) in the 16th, he will try to reach the eighth by dismissing Tallon Greek track (39th ATP). At 145 points behind the German in the live ranking, he will have to reach the semi-finals to overtake him in the ranking. To do this, it will first be necessary to tame the 28-year-old Dutchman, then Karen Khachanov or Francisco Cerundolowho will face each other earlier today. More than doable.

He too would like to shine Chine and, perhaps, try to obtain a first title since the beginning of May and the Madrid Masters 1000. Andrey Rublevwho has rebounded since his downturn at the start of the season, is also aiming for the quarters. To do this, he will have to tame the irregular Alexander Davidovich Fokina (25 years old), in poor form this season. Not an easy task, especially since the latter took the best of Zhizhen Zhangfinalist at Hanghzouin the first round.
Earlier today, Lorenzo Musetti will try to take his revenge against the Middle Kingdom. Defeated in the ATP 250 final Chengdu by the promising Juncheng Shang five days earlier, he will find one of his compatriots, Yunchaokete Buin the second round in Beijing. To take revenge, without a doubt.
