BEIJING (Reuters) -Jannik Sinner was back to his best in a 6-2 6-2 victory over American teenager Learner Tien in Wednesday’s China Open final, as the world number two picked up his third title of the year and 21st tour-level trophy overall.

Carlos Alcaraz’s Japan Open title on Tuesday and Sinner’s triumph marked the first time since 2020 that the world number one and two both claimed trophies in the same week after Novak Djokovic (Dubai) and Rafa Nadal (Acapulco) managed the feat.

“It’s a very, very special place for me,” Sinner said during the trophy presentation in Beijing.

“My team, thanks for understanding and working with me. Not all the team is here, hopefully the rest are watching from home. We’ll try to improve and push for more and see what the rest of the season looks like.
