Jannik Sinner upset No. 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets to reach the final of the China Open, where he will face world No. 3 Daniil Medvedev on Wednesday.
Sinner beat the two-time grand slam champion 7-6 6-1 in a statement victory, telling the ATP his performance was at the “very top” of the big matches he’s played in his career.
The win also means the Italian, who will rise a career high of world No. 4 after the tournament, opens up a winning 4-3 record over Alcaraz and becomes the first player to beat the 2023 Wimbledon champion four times on tour, according to the ATP.
