Sinner reinforces his commitment to Beijing and will defend his title again in 2026
Jannik Sinner has officially confirmed his participation in the ATP 500 Beijing 2026, which will be held from September 30 to October 6. The news goes beyond a simple entry, as it reaffirms the Italian's firm commitment to one of the tournaments that has provided him with the best results in recent years, where he will again be considered one of the top favorites for the title.
The world number one returns to a stage where he has impressive records. Sinner has a record of 14 wins and just one loss in the Chinese tournament, winning the title in 2023 and 2025.
A very special tournament for Sinner
The only defeat for the Italian in Beijing came in the unforgettable final of 2024 against Carlos Alcaraz, a match that remains in the memory of fans due to the extraordinary level displayed by both players and ended with the Spaniard lifting the trophy.
Sinner, Zverev, Auger-Aliassime, Medvedev, Alex de Minaur and Cobolli will all compete at the @ChinaOpen this fall. That's six of the current ATP Top 10, along with No. 11 Bublik and No. 14 Rublev.

Sinner's decision to return to Beijing demonstrates the importance he places on this event within his calendar. Additionally, it suggests a solid commitment to the Chinese tournament for the coming years, solidifying it as one of the essential stops on his Asian tour.
The organization will once again bring together an impressive lineup. Alongside Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev, Álex de Miñaur, and Flavio Cobolli have already confirmed their participation, as well as other top players such as Alexander Bublik, currently ranked No. 11 in the world, and Andrey Rublev, ranked No. 14 in the ATP rankings.
The uncertainty remains with Alcaraz
The big question now revolves around Carlos Alcaraz. The Murcian has yet to reveal his schedule for the Asian tour, and it is unclear whether he will compete in the ATP 500 in Tokyo, as he has done on previous occasions, or if he will opt to modify his plans.
What seems clear is that Beijing will once again feature one of the strongest draws of the entire season. Sinner will attempt to win his third title in the tournament and further enhance a record that already places him among the top dominators of the Chinese event.
