Jannik Sinner defeated Roman Safiullin 3–6, 6–2, 6–3 in the second round of the Beijing Masters 1000 on hard court. Despite losing the opening set to the Russian qualifier, Sinner reasserted his dominance in the second and third frames to advance comfortably. The result confirmed pre-match expectations, with Sinner heavily favoured at 1.07 odds against Safiullin's 11.5. The Italian's ability to recover from a slow start and control the latter stages underscored his credentials as a top seed in Beijing, with momentum now building toward the quarter-finals.
