In set 2, Sinner continued to dominate the match, breaking twice and closing the set with a 6-2 victory. The victory after 2 sets in 1 hour and 22 minutes helped Sinner enter the second round of the China Open to meet French opponent Atmane on September 27.

The biggest surprise at the China Open 2025 was the 5th seed Khachanov's early exit after losing to Muller. Stars like Alex De Minaur, Rublev, Musetti, Mensik and Daniil Medvedev will compete in the first round on September 26.

In the first round of the Japan Open 2025, Alcaraz was rated higher than Sebastian Baez. The Spanish star started well in the first set, but he suffered a fall that caused a sprained ankle and had to seek medical help.
