Jannik Sinner’s impressive resilience has been on full display at the China Open this week.

The World No. 1, known for his determination and power, staged yet another comeback, defeating Roman Safiullin 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 on Saturday.

This victory ensures Sinner’s place in the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 event in Beijing, marking his continued dominance in 2024.

The top-seeded Italian was tested early on by the free-hitting Safiullin, who managed to break Sinner’s serve twice in the opening set.

However, Sinner responded in typical fashion, showcasing his raw power and consistency from the baseline. His resilience was evident as he turned the match around, winning seven consecutive games from 2-2 in the second set to seize control.

Sinner’s determination was further highlighted by his ability to convert four out of 13 break points against Safiullin.

His performance not only secured his 57th tour-level win of the year but also tied him with Alexander Zverev for the most victories this season.

With this win, Sinner maintained his remarkable record of reaching at least the quarter-finals in every tournament he has participated in this year.

The victory also boosts Sinner’s quest for the ATP Year-End No. 1 title, presented by PIF. He currently holds a substantial 2,985-point lead over second-placed Zverev in the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin, making him the runaway leader in the race.

In the upcoming quarter-finals, Sinner will face Jiri Lehecka, who earlier overcame Roberto Bautista Agut with a scoreline of 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.

Sinner’s consistent performances this year have made him a fan favorite, and his ability to bounce back from difficult situations has become his trademark.

Sinner’s relentless spirit raises the question of whether he can reach the pinnacle of success in the sport.
