Jannik Sinner produced a determined display to capture his third title of the year and ninth overall with a 7-6(2) 7-6(2) victory over second seed Daniil Medvedev in the final of the China Open on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Sinner came into the clash having lost to Medvedev in their previous six meetings, including two earlier this season in the finals of Rotterdam and Miami, but the Italian kept pace with his opponent and sealed a opening first set via a tiebreak.<\/p>\n

Both players struck brutal blows from the baseline and raced through their service games in the next set, before the 22-year-old Sinner raised his level again in the tiebreak to complete a memorable win in Beijing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot,\u201d Sinner said of his win which followed a victory over number two Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals. \u201cA lot of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I was prepared for this match today. I\u2019ve lost many times against him. It feels great especially when you beat a player you\u2019ve never won against and this was a positive week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to overcome some tough challenges and I\u2019m very proud of myself, how I handled the situations. It has been awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinner will become the second Italian in the history of ATP rankings (since 1973) to break into the top five when the latest list is released and will match Adriano Panatta\u2019s ranking of four, which was achieved in August 1976.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Iga Swiatek powered past fellow Pole Magda Linette 6-1 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals of the women\u2019s event, where she will play either Caroline Garcia or Anhelina Kalinina who face off on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I was playing a good game and I was in control from the beginning to the end. I\u2019m happy that I was consistent. I didn\u2019t have ups and downs in the match so it doesn\u2019t matter who I\u2019m playing,\u201d Swiatek said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I play like that, I feel really confident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko stunned fourth seed Jessica Pegula 6-4 6-2 to book a quarter-final clash with Liudmila Samsonova, who beat Marta Kostyuk 6-4 6-7(4) 7-5.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I always play quite well in China,\u201d said Ostapenko, a 2017 semi-finalist in Beijing. \u201cFinally, tournaments are back here and with a lot of fans, which I like a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the U.S. Open I had a bit more confidence and I had really good preparation before that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome matches during the year were close. I was losing them, but they were very close. I felt like at some point they have to go my way. It\u2019s working now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elena Rybakina avoided a huge upset as the former Wimbledon champion battled from a set and 4-2 down to claim 10 out of the last 11 games against Russian 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva to prevail 2-6 6-4 6-1.<\/p>\n

The Kazakh next meets world number one Aryna Sabalenka or Jasmine Paolini.<\/p>\n
