Sinner beats Alcaraz to set up China open final with Medvedev

The Hindu  

World number two Carlos Alcaraz slumped out of the China Open on Tuesday, collapsing in the second set to hand Italy’s Jannik Sinner a place in the men’s final against Daniil Medvedev in Beijing. But Alcaraz -- the tournament favourite in Novak Djokovic’s absence -- then fell apart, gifting Sinner three service games before crowning an error-laden second set with a tame backhand into the net to give the world number seven a 7-6, 6-1 victory. “Today, I was going faster, and I was really not thinking much about anything, just serving.” Scare for Sabalenka The top-ranked women’s player Aryna Sabalenka said her performances in “key moments” were crucial to surviving a major scare in the second round, after she defeated unseeded Katie Boulter 7-5, 7-6 in Beijing. I just had to be consistent, but also aggressive.” World number two Iga Swiatek shook off a rain delay to glide past France’s Varvara Gracheva 6-4, 6-1 to set up a date with fellow Pole Magda Linette.
