BEIJING (AP) — Top-seeded Jannik Sinner won his 11th straight
career match against Alex de Minaur and advanced to the final of
the China Open on Tuesday.
Sinner's 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory earned him a ninth straight final
at hard-court tournaments, which will be on Wednesday against
Daniil Medvedev or Learner Tien.
The No. 2-ranked Sinner dropped a set to No. 8 De Minaur for
just the second time in his career before retaking control with
a series of forceful forehands.
The ATP event in Beijing runs concurrently with the WTA event
and Coco Gauff advanced to the quarterfinals on Tuesday.
Gauff broke Belinda Bencic's serve to open the deciding set and
went on to beat the Swiss player 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2.
The second-seeded Gauff improved her career record against
15th-seeded Bencic to 4-2.
Three of those matches have come this year, including Gauff's
win at the Australian Open in January. But Bencic won at Abu
Dhabi, and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics gold medalist made the Indian
Wells quarterfinals and advanced to the Wimbledon semis.
