Janik Sinner now has a clear path to the China Open final. He has shown his dominance in previous appearances at this tournament, and the best proof of this is the fact that Sinner has secured a place in the semifinals for the third year in a row.
While Hungarian Fabian Marozsan was disastrous in the first set, which Sinner won 6-1, the second set was a bit more uncertain. It looked as if Marozsan could take the match to a third set, but Sinner made sure to finish it in two sets.
Sinner on De Minaur
The next challenge for the young Italian is Alex de Minaur, an Australian tennis player with whom Jannik has no major problems, considering the head-to-head record of 10-0. In an interview after the victory, the 24-year-old stressed that he was satisfied with his game. Unforced errors from his opponent opened the way for Sinner, who remained focused in the second set and won in a tense finale.
Speaking about his next opponent, De Minaur, who is a player of high quality, Jannik showed composure and is aware that he faces a serious challenge.
The Australian has improved in every aspect of his game over the past months, which can certainly cause Sinner to worry, but the Italian doesn't seem too preoccupied with that and is focused on winning.
