The ATP Beijing announces an incredible lineup featuring Djokovic and Sinner
The ATP Beijing 2026 has just announced its player list for this year and it looks like it will be one of the best editions in its history. The tournament will start on September 28 and will feature 7 of the top 10 players on the circuit, including Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, who will return to China after 11 years of absence.

It is also important to highlight that this is a provisional list, as there could be last-minute changes. After his first-round defeat at the US Open and his physical issues, it's uncertain what will happen with Djokovic in the coming weeks, as even he is unsure about the condition of his body right now. On the other hand, Sinner missed the last Grand Slam of the year due to a knee injury, although he is expected to arrive in top shape for the Asian tour. Other big names participating will be Alexander Zverev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Flavio Cobolli, Alex de Miñaur, and Daniil Medvedev.
Alcaraz aims for Tokyo
One of the main names missing from this list is Carlos Alcaraz, who, just like he did last year, is very likely to compete in the ATP Tokyo, where he defends his title. The same goes for other players like Rafa Jódar, Taylor Fritz, or Ben Shelton. A tournament whose winner will earn 500 points and will serve as preparation for the Masters 1000 in Shanghai taking place a few days later.
