On Monday, rising Italian star Sinner was clearly in a bad way but managed to recover and beat Dimitrov 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, booking a mouthwatering matchup against world No.1 and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz, who he's long been tipped to forge a rivalry with. Sinner, 22, had already been unwell during his first-round clash with British ace Dan Evans and failed to fully recover in time to face 32-year-old Bulgarian Dimitrov. During a changeover, Sinner put his head underneath the lid of a bin and was sick, having developed a bad cold in Beijing. The conditions in the Chinese capital won't have helped him, with humidity at 70 per cent. Still, the 22-year-old shone and broke Dimitrov zero during the last game. "A very tough evening, the level was really high," Sinner explained. "I didn't feel very good, maybe I ate something wrong. At one point I also threw up a little, but I'm happy with how I handled the situation." "I had one game 15-40, one game 0-40 where I made some unforced errors and he also played quite aggressive," he later added. "This is tennis. Obviously it's easier if you take those chances. In the third set I thought I handled the situation well, especially when serving at a tough moment at 4-2. I'm very happy to be in the next round." Now he'll be hoping to feel shipshape ahead of what promises to be a blockbuster clash between him and fellow youngster Alcaraz. They're due to face each other on Tuesday, battling it out for a place in the final against either Daniil Medvedev or Alexander Zverev this Sunday. Have your say! Who'll win the China Open?
