In the 2025 China Open in Beijing, Jannik Sinner overcame a scare, and Iga Swiatek cruised to easy wins in round two. I was present when the Sinner of Italy had to face a qualifier of France by the name of Terence Atmane in a rollercoaster three-set match, and the match went in favor of the Sinner by 6-4, 5-7, 6-0.
Moreover, after a nervous second set, Sinner shifted gears and dominated the decider. Meanwhile, top seed Iga Swiatek showed no mercy against China’s Yuan Yue, dispatching her 6-0, 6-3.
With world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka absent due to injury, Swiatek comfortably shouldered top billing. In another match, young Mirra Andreeva impressed, beating Zhu Lin 6-2, 6-2.
As a journalist on the edge of my seat with my heart racing, I knew these results were just the opening act of an explosive week to come.

Moreover, Sinner now advances to meet Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan. I’ll be watching eagerly to see if this win gives him the confidence to surge deeper into the tournament.
I’m convinced this display of grit bodes well for his run in Beijing.
Women’s Singles: Swiatek Cruises, Sabalenka Out at 2025 China Open
Iga Swiatek dominated her second-round match, looking unstoppable from the first serve. After a first-round bye, the World No.1 broke China’s Yuan Yue early and never let up, winning 6-0, 6-3.
With world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka absent, Swiatek comfortably justified her top seed. Elsewhere, young Mirra Andreeva (seeded No.5) impressed by beating Zhu Lin 6-2, 6-2.
Even a veteran upset occurred – Aliaksandra Sasnovich came back to beat Naomi Osaka in three sets – proving that nothing is guaranteed. Personally, I felt Swiatek was a steamroller in Beijing, but the talent around her means nothing is certain.
- Jannik Sinner (No.2) d. Terence Atmane (68) 6-4, 5-7, 6-0; will face Fabian Marozsan next.
- Iga Swiatek (Top seed) d. Yuan Yue 6-0, 6-3, advancing to round three.
- Mirra Andreeva (No.5) d. Zhu Lin 6-2, 6-2.
- Aliaksandra Sasnovich d. Naomi Osaka 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.
- World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from injury.
From where I sat, the biggest takeaway was this: Jannik Sinner’s composure under pressure – and I do mean pressure – is a reminder that he’s still one of the game’s toughest competitors. Surviving that scare made me think he’s peaking at just the right moment.
On the women’s side, Swiatek’s effortless win (coupled with Sabalenka’s absence) underlined who the favorite is right now. But I also saw that rising stars like Mirra Andreeva can’t be taken lightly.
All things considered, Beijing is shaping up to be a thriller. Personally, I can’t wait to see how Sinner fares against Fabian Marozsan, and whether Swiatek will continue to roll.
Moreover, if this second day was any indication, fans in Beijing are in for a wild ride this week.
