Jannik Sinner thrashes Learner Tien to win China Open for 21st title

BEIJING: Jannik Sinner won the 21st title of his career by thrashing American teenager Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 in the China Open final on Wednesday. The Italian world number two lifted the trophy for the second time on Beijing’s hard courts, where he beat Daniil Medvedev in the final on his tournament debut in 2023. The 24-year-old is the third man to win multiple China Open titles after Novak Djokovic with six and Rafael Nadal with two. His only loss on Beijing’s center Diamond Court has been to great rival Carlos Alcaraz, who won last year’s championship match in three gripping sets. Alcaraz was not defending his title in the Chinese capital and on Tuesday won the Japan Open in Tokyo. Sinner broke immediately in the first set on the way to outclassing the 19-year-old Tien, who was in his first ATP final. The world no.

Under-fire Amorim accepts criticism as Man Utd crash at Brentford

LONDON: Ruben Amorim said he would not try to protect himself or his players from the mounting pressure after Manchester United crashed to a dismal 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday. Lacklustre United’s third loss in six Premier League games this season has left Amorim fighting to avoid the sack. Amorim’s side were punished for shambolic defending as Igor Thiago netted twice in the first half. Benjamin Sesko, signed from Leipzig in the summer, bagged his first goal for United before half-time. But Amorim’s misery mounted when United captain Bruno Fernandes had a second half penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher before Mathias Jensen struck in stoppage-time. After Jensen’s decisive goal, Amorim had to endure chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from jubilant Brentford fans at the Gtech Community Stadium. “Ups and downs, when you win you feel the momentum is here,” said Amorim, who is still waiting to record successive league wins since taking charge in November. “When you lose you go back to the same place and fight for the one win that can help you to create the momentum. “I am always doing my job. If I win I’m in different state of mind, but I am always confident because I know what to do. “I am trying to do my best for the club and the team, thinking what is the best to win the next game.
