Overview

• Jannik Sinner beat Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 to claim the China Open, his 21st career trophy and third title of 2025.
• The Beijing crown yields 500 points and a net gain of 170 versus last year, moving Sinner to 10,950 points behind Alcaraz’s 11,540 in the live rankings.
• Carlos Alcaraz won Tokyo but will skip the Shanghai Masters due to illness, foregoing the chance to add points and set to drop 200 from last year’s quarterfinal there.
• Sinner now defends 1,000 points in Shanghai, opening with a bye before Daniel Altmaier or a qualifier, with possible tests against Bublik, Fritz and a projected semifinal with Djokovic.
• Tien reached his first ATP final at 19 after wins over Cerundolo, Cobolli and Musetti, then advanced past Medvedev’s retirement, and is projected to rise to about No. 36.
