Video - 33 shots and a hellish pace: the exceptional rally between Sinner and De Minaur in Beijing

While the former world number one is known for his impressive ability to hit from the baseline with pace, this time he faced an opponent who gave him blow for blow.
The Australian, coming off two Grand Slam quarterfinals on hard court this season, stood out with baseline consistency and intensity worthy of the best players.
As evidenced by this point at 3-3 in the second set where the two men treated the crowd to a 33-shot rally of incredible intensity, finally concluded by the world number 8 player.
