Djokovic Stuns Zverev in Beijing; Sinner Retains World No. 1

Novak Djokovic defeated top seed Alexander Zverev at the China Open tennis tournament in Beijing, broadcaster Channels TV and Italian newspaper Repubblica reported.

The 39-year-old Serbian extended his winning streak at the tournament to 32 matches before an enthusiastic crowd.

According to Repubblica, Zverev's defeat ensures that Italy's Jannik Sinner will retain the world number one ranking. Consecutive titles at the ATP 500 event in Beijing and the upcoming Shanghai Masters 1000 would have elevated the German player to the top of the rankings. Further details have not yet been released.
