A little against the run of play, Jannik Sinner won the first set of the Beijing final against Carlos Alcaraz (7-6).
In a match of the highest level, the world number 1 was dominated throughout the set, but, showing unparalleled resilience, came back every time to finally take the lead.
Leading by a break, he broke just as his opponent was serving for the set, then saved three set points before winning the last four points of the tie-break to frustrate Alcaraz and move to within a set of the title (8 points to 6 in the tie-break).
Obviously frustrated, the Spaniard won't have to lose concentration if he wants to get back into this final.
Everything still remains to be done in Beijing after 1h14 of matches.
Sinner, Jannik
