Story summary

Novak Djokovic won the China Open in Beijing after his opponent, Australian player Alex de Minaur, retired due to a left thigh injury. The final was already in progress for an hour when de Minaur had to leave the court mid-match with the score at 7-6 (7-3) and love all in the second set. This victory marks Djokovic's 102nd career title, making him only behind Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer for most titles won by a player ever. Djokovic was also a set up against Daniil Medvedev when he was defaulted from their semi-final due to an unspecified incident, and earlier in the tournament, he defeated world number two Alexander Zverev. The 39-year-old Serbian tennis star now has won at least one singles title for 21 consecutive years and maintains a 34-match winning streak at the China Open.
