China Open: Novak Djokovic claims 102nd career title, Carlos Alcaraz wins Japan trophy

Earlier, Alcaraz won the Japan Open, claiming a trophy in just his third tournament since injuring his wrist in April.

The Spaniard came back from an early break down to beat Czech Jiri Lehecka 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 and successfully defend his title in Beijing.

Alcaraz only returned to competitive tennis at August’s US Open, where he reached the quarter-finals before losing in five tight sets to Ben Shelton.

It is Alcaraz’s third title of the season, having won the Australian Open in January to complete the career Grand Slam, and also February’s Qatar Open.

“It’s extra special after my injury,” the 25-year-old said.

“It was a tough week that I didn’t find my best tennis, my best level, but I did find the good solutions.

“I think that’s what matters in the end.”
