ATP – Beijing > Jannik Sinner, facing Carlos Alcaraz in the final: “I only think about this match. We know each other very well so it will be a very tactical and difficult match”

Jostled for more than two hours by the surprising local, Yunchaokete Bu, in the semi‐finals of the ATP 500 in Beijing this Tuesday, Jannik Sinner did not have a great match despite a victory in two sets: 6–3, 7 –6(3).

Now qualified for his sixth final of the season, the world number 1 will meet a certain Carlos Alcaraz, impressive winner of Daniil Medvedev a few hours earlier.

Asked at a press conference about this 10^e career duel, the Italian, who has two consecutive defeats against the Spaniard (at Indian Wells and Roland‐Garros this year), is inevitably expecting a very complicated match.

“Now I only think about tomorrow. But I have to rest because I don’t have much time. We know each other very well so I think it will be a very tactical and difficult match. Every match between us is very different, it depends on the context and the situation each time. It will be a match even different from the previous ones. In the meantime, I’m enjoying a new finale. I hope it will be a good match with victory at the end. »
