顶级球员詹尼克·辛纳将在本周二以6-3、7-6（3）击败中国主场选手布云朝克特之后，与中国对手卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯在决赛中交手。
两位球员包揽了今年的四座大满贯赛事。阿尔卡拉斯目前领先于辛纳头对头战绩统计5比4，并且在这两次对决中获胜，然而辛纳并不认为过去的比赛结果会在即将到来的周三比赛中产生影响。“我们很了解对方，但每次比赛都是不同的，场上的情况也与前两场比赛有所不同。”辛纳如是说。
年仅23岁的意大利球员辛纳作为卫冕冠军，未受到世界反兴奋剂组织对美网冠军进行的禁赛一年至两年的调查结果的影响。中国特设选手布云朝克特在首盘三次破发机会均未成功抓住。
经验在关键时刻为辛纳赢得了重要比赛，尤其是在第二盘抢七局中，他迅速建立了6比1的优势。
早些时候，在第三场比赛中，阿尔卡拉斯以7-5、6-3战胜了达尼尔·梅德韦杰夫，展现出了其运动员的全面能力。他说：“我在球场上感觉很棒，所以我很开心。”对于对阵俄罗斯选手时保持良好的胜率战绩感到满意。
年仅21岁的西班牙球员阿尔卡拉斯在开局中经历了一场艰难的抢七局，期间共有五次破发服务，但关键的是他赢得了比赛的关键时刻：在第十二轮比赛中第三次破发梅德韦杰夫，确保了比赛的胜利。
自在美国网球公开赛第二轮输给博提克·范德尔桑切尔后，阿尔卡拉斯连续八场比赛获胜，包括在戴维斯杯、拉弗杯和北京站的胜绩。美国球员科科·高夫在娜奥米·大阪因为背部受伤退赛后进入四分之一决赛。
大阪是一位四届大满贯冠军得主，在第二盘以4比3领先的情况下，高夫连续赢得了三场比赛。随后她帮助大阪将行李带下球场。
高夫击出了六次ace球而大阪仅有一次，并且在对阵对手的比赛中获得了三次胜利。接下来，她要面对排名115位的尤莉亚·斯塔罗杜尔特塞娃，后者在此前以7比5、6比0击败了第14名安娜·卡拉辛卡娅。
保罗·波达莎以6比4、6比0战胜美国网球公开赛决赛选手杰西卡·佩古拉，在这场决斗中获胜并达到她的第八场职业比赛四分之一决赛。她称对手为“我不想面对的球员之一”，强调其稳重，水平直球和多变的方向切换。“我已经做好了战斗的准备，但我认为今天我的表现非常好。”
接下来波达莎将与35岁中国选手张帅交手，后者以6比4、6比2战胜波兰选手玛格达莱娜·弗雷奇。张在进入中国公开赛时经历了长达24场比赛的连败，并且世界排名一度降至第595位。
然而，在这周的比赛中，她没有输过一盘，并且现在已经进入了她的职业生涯中第一个WTA1000级别的比赛季度决赛，这是自2022年东京和同一年辛辛那提之后的首次出现。她表示，“在我的对手都排名在我之上的情况下”，她“将只关注自己”。在决斗日本公开赛决赛时，阿尔法斯击败了法国同胞乌戈·亨伯特，获得了他的第三次巡回赛级别的冠军。
最终，他克服了一次世界冠军点和第二盘7-6（6）、6-3的逆转战胜，这使他在决赛中取得了胜利。

原文摘要：
Top-ranked Jannik Sinner will play rival Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the China Open after recording a 6-3, 7-6 (3) victory over home favorite Bu Yunchaokete on Tuesday. Sinner and Alcaraz accounted for all four Grand Slam titles this year between them. Alcaraz leads the head-to-head series 5-4 — including wins at both their meetings this year — but Sinner doesn't believe that recent history will have a bearing on Wednesday's final. “We know each other very well now, but every match is different, so the situation on the court is also a bit different than it was the last two matches,” Sinner said. The 23-year-old Italian is the defending champion and hasn't appeared distracted by the World Anti-Doping Agency announcing Saturday it was seeking a ban of one to two years for the U.S. Open champion, who tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid in March. Chinese wild card Yunchaokete, ranked 96th, couldn't take any of his three break-point chances in the first set. Sinner’s experience proved crucial during the pivotal moments, especially in the second-set tiebreaker, where he surged to a 6-1 lead. Earlier, third-ranked Alcaraz's athleticism was again on show as he advanced to the final with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Daniil Medvedev. “I felt great on the court once again, so I’m really happy about it,” Alcaraz said. “I couldn’t ask for a better semifinal.” The four-time Grand Slam champion — including this year's French Open and Wimbledon — extended his head-to-head record against the Russian to 6-2. The 21-year-old Spaniard found his way through a testing first set that had five breaks of serve, but crucially it was Alcaraz's third service break in the 12th game that secured the set. Alcaraz has now won eight straight matches — across the Davis Cup, Laver Cup and in Beijing — since his loss to Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round at the U.S. Open. Coco Gauff advanced to the quarterfinals when Naomi Osaka retired at 3-6, 6-4 because of a lower back injury. Osaka, a four-time major champion, was leading 4-3 in the second set before Gauff won three straight games. The sixth-ranked Gauff then helped carry Osaka's bags off the court. Gauff hit six aces compared to Osaka’s one and improved to 3-2 over her opponent at WTA tournaments. She will next meet No. 115-ranked Yuliia Starodubtseva, who earlier upset No. 14 Anna Kalinskaya 7-5, 6-0. Paula Badosa reeled off 11 of the last 12 games in a 6-4, 6-0 victory over U.S. Open finalist Jessica Pegula to reach her eighth career quarterfinal at a WTA 1000-level event. “She’s one the of the players I never want to face — she’s very solid, hits very flat, changes very well direction,” said Badosa, who was 0-3 previously against Pegula. “I prepared myself for a battle, but I think today everything worked pretty well." Badosa next faces 35-year-old Chinese player Zhang Shuai, who continued her resurgence with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Magdalena Frech of Poland. Zhang entered the China Open on a 24-match losing streak and ranked No. 595, but she's yet to drop a set in four matches this week. Zhang is now into her first women's tour quarterfinal since Tokyo in 2022, and her first at a WTA 1000 tournament since Cincinnati in the same year. “In this draw, everyone has a higher ranking than me,” Zhang said. “Just step on court, just play. So I do not have much to think about, to prepare. I will just focus on myself.” Arthur Fils saved a championship point and rallied to beat Ugo Humbert 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-3 in the final of the Japan Open to earn his third tour-level title. The championship point was in the second-set tiebreaker against his French compatriot. The 20-year-old Fils struggled with an injury to his left leg for much of the second set and when trailing 4-3 in the second set — with three break points for his opponent — it looked almost certain that Humbert would go on to win his seventh final in seven appearances. Fils defeated four top-20 opponents — U.S. Open finalist Taylor Fritz, defending champion Ben Shelton, Holger Rune and Humbert — on his way to the title. ___ AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis
