Carlos Alcaraz staged a remarkable comeback to overcome Jannik Sinner in a thrilling final at the China Open, securing his fourth title of the year. The 21-year-old Spaniard battled from a set down to win 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(3) after three hours and 21 minutes of high-octane tennis.

Alcaraz, already a French Open and Wimbledon champion this season, improved his head-to-head record against Sinner to 6-4. Despite the match's lesser stage compared to their previous encounters, both players pushed each other to the brink in what has become one of the most riveting rivalries on the ATP Tour.

The tense final was decided by a dramatic tiebreak, with Alcaraz clinching victory with a powerful cross-court forehand. The win denied Sinner the chance to be the first man to retain the China Open crown since Novak Djokovic's four straight titles from 2012 to 2015.
