Jannik Sinner beats Fabian Maroszan to advance to the semifinal in Beijing
Jannik Sinner beat Fabian Maroszan 6-1 7-5 to book his spot in the semifinals at the China Open in Beijing for the third time in his career.
Sinner dropped 18 points in nine service games and hit 19 winners to 19 unforced errors. Maroszan converted one of his two break points.
Sinner served well and earned three breaks in the third, fifth and seventh games. The world number 2 closed out the first set with a winner at 5-1.
Both players went on serve in the first seven games. Maroszan fended off four break points to hold serve for 4-4 in the second set before breaking Sinner’s serve for the first time in the match to take a 5-4 lead. Sinner broke back to love in the 10th game to draw level to 5-5. Sinner earned his second break at love in the 12th game to close out the second set 7-5.
Sinner, winner at the China Open in 2023, set up a semifinal match against Alex De Minaur, who advanced after his quarter final opponent Jakub Mensik was trailing 1-4 in the first set due to injury. Sinner leads 10-0 in his head-to-head match against De Minuar.
“I feel like I started off very well in the first set and we both played very well in the second set. I had some big chances at 4-3 but couldn’t use them. He’s someone whose peak is very high, I knew that before the match. When he was serving for the set, he made a couple of unforced errors which helped me of course to come back and win in two. It’s psychological of course, too, but it’s also how you arrive at these moments. I tried to fight, had some tough service game holds from 0/30 a couple of times. I’m happy how I fought today”, said Sinner.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
