北京(美联社)——本周三,在一场决定性的抢七局中,排名第三的阿尔卡拉兹连赢7分,以6-7(6)、6-4、7-6(3)战胜了排名第一的辛纳,赢得了中国公开赛冠军。这是本年度第三次击败这位最大的对手——后者正面临正在进行的禁药丑闻。
这不仅是今年在与对手的交锋中第三次获胜,在印第安韦尔斯和法国网球公开赛中,阿尔卡拉兹也都在半决赛阶段取得了胜利。
在决定性的一局抢七比赛中,阿尔卡拉兹也成功打破了辛纳14连胜纪录,并阻止了意大利选手连续三场夺冠的可能,后者先前分别获得了哥伦比亚公开赛和美国网球公开赛冠军奖杯。
作为卫冕冠军出战北京赛事的辛纳,在世界反兴奋剂机构周六宣布上诉决定后,不得不重新聚焦。该机构对清除他因两次检测出类固醇呈阳性而免于罪责的决定提出质疑。
尽管在第一个盘局中失误领先到5-2,并且当阿尔卡拉兹在第三盘4-2时反超了比分,辛纳在最后的一盘抢七局中也落后3-0的情况下,最终还是被逆转夺走了冠军。
今年两位选手共赢得了四个大满贯赛事的奖杯。在澳大利亚网球公开赛和美国网球公开赛中,辛纳夺得桂冠;而在法国网球公开赛和温布尔登网球锦标赛中,则是阿尔卡拉兹称雄。
阿尔卡拉兹将自己对辛纳的总战绩提升至6胜4负,在两人已经进行了10场比赛之后成为了网球界最激烈的较量。这与纳达尔和德约科维奇之间进行的60场对决形成了对比。
世界反兴奋剂机构正在寻求针对辛纳的一年至两年禁赛裁决,这一案件很可能在明年澳大利亚网球公开赛卫冕时仍无定论。
今年3月,辛纳因使用类固醇接受过两次测试呈阳性。然而,在国际网球清廉机构(ITIA)宣布的独立法庭决定中,辛纳因其不承担责任而未被禁赛。
根据辛纳的接受解释,禁用的增强性能物质在一次理疗师对其施以喷雾治疗割伤手指的过程中无意间进入了他的体内。

原文摘要:
BEIJING (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz won seven straight points in the decisive tiebreaker to beat top-ranked Jannik Sinner 6-7 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (3) and win the China Open on Wednesday, extending his recent mastery over his biggest rival — who is dealing with an ongoing doping case. The third-ranked Alcaraz has now won all three of his meetings with Sinner this year, having also come out on top in semifinals at Indian Wells and the French Open. Alcaraz also ended Sinner's winning streak at 14 matches and denied the Italian three straight titles after trophies in Cincinnati and at the U.S. Open. Sinner, who was the defending champion in Beijing, had to refocus after the World Anti-Doping Agency announced on Saturday that it was appealing a decision to clear him of wrongdoing following two positive steroid tests. Alcaraz wasted a 5-2 lead in the first set and also let Sinner get back in the third after leading 4-2 before eventually edging it out after also falling behind 3-0 in the final-set tiebreaker. Sinner and Alcaraz have accounted for all four Grand Slam titles this year between them — evenly split at two each: Sinner won the Australian Open and the U.S. Open while Alcaraz won the French Open and Wimbledon. Alcaraz improved to 6-4 in his career against Sinner after their 10th meeting in what has become tennis’ top rivalry following the 60 matches between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. WADA is seeking a ban of one to two years for Sinner in a case that might not be resolved before Sinner begins the defense of his Australian Open title in January. Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid in March but was not banned in a decision by an independent tribunal announced by the International Tennis Integrity Agency in August because the ITIA determined he was not to blame. Sinner’s accepted explanation was that the banned performance-enhancer entered his system unintentionally through a massage from his physiotherapist, who had used a spray containing the steroid to treat his own cut finger. ___ AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis
