A final to watch and rewatch. Once again, Sinner and Alcaraz proved to be two of the best tennis players on the circuit. In the end, it was the Spaniard who triumphed in the ATP 500 in Beijing after three spectacular sets. This match was one of the best of the year in terms of quality, determination, and comebacks. Jannik lost it at the very last turn when he seemed to have full control. He was up 3-0 in the final tie-break, but Carlos made an incredible comeback, scoring seven consecutive points and winning yet another head-to-head this season.
Sinner's heart wasn’t enough to secure his seventh trophy of 2024 (he had won all six previous finals). Despite facing external challenges, the South Tyrolean player demonstrated unparalleled mental toughness, making a comeback in the first set. After trailing 4-1, the Italian fought his way back into the match and forced a tie-break in the first set. Jannik saved a set point from Alcaraz and won the decisive point on his serve.
The story flipped in the second set, as Sinner seemed more in control but had to face a resurgence from the Spaniard, who saved a break point and held his game until the final 6-4. The third set followed the same thrilling pace, with both players trading blows and delivering spectacular points to the crowd. In the end, it was Alcaraz who celebrated in the tie-break and took home the trophy.
