Jannik Sinner continued his sensational 2025 season by powering past Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 to win the China Open in Beijing, marking his third title of the year and the 21st of his career.
Sinner’s Dominance in Beijing
The Italian star asserted his authority from the first game, breaking Tien’s serve immediately and racing to a 4-1 lead in the opening set. Both players then held serve until Sinner sealed the 34-minute first set.
In the second set, Tien mounted some resistance, creating two break-point opportunities, but Sinner held firm, eventually closing out the match after 72 minutes.
Statistically, Sinner hit 24 winners to Tien’s 11, despite both players recording a similar number of unforced errors (Sinner 16, Tien 18).
Historic Achievement
This victory gives Sinner his second China Open title in three years, making him just the second man to win the event multiple times since it became an ATP 500-level tournament in 2009, joining Novak Djokovic (who won six times between 2009 and 2015).
It’s also his sixth ATP 500 title overall and his third title of 2025, following Grand Slam victories at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

Breakthrough Week for Learner Tien
Despite the loss, 19-year-old Learner Tien had a week to remember. The American reached his first ATP final, having never previously reached the semifinals of an ATP event.
His impressive run at an ATP 500 tournament will propel him from No. 52 to a career-high of No. 36 in the upcoming ATP rankings, making him the new No. 1-ranked teenager on the tour.
