En finale de l'ATP 500 de Pékin, le dixième épisode du classique entre Jannik Sinner et Carlos Alcaraz a régalé les fans de tennis. Les deux nouveaux patrons du circuit ATP, qui se sont partagé équitablement les tournois du Grand Chelem cette année, ne s'étaient plus retrouvés depuis leur demi-finale à Roland-Garros, qu'Alcaraz avait remporté. La bataille a été épique et indécise en Chine pendant plus de trois heures. Finalement, c'est l'Espagnol qui a eu le dernier mot, 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(3) après 3h24 de combat. Le protégé de Juan Carlos Ferrero est ainsi allé chercher son 16e trophée, son 5e en ATP 500.

00:00Thank you. I would like to start with Yannick, obviously. What can I say about you? The year
00:14that you're having is unbelievable, but you deserve it. With your team, the work that
00:22you put in every day, I've seen you working the time that I can in the club. You're always
00:32working hard. You are really, really humble. That makes you even better success during
00:38your whole career this year. I would like to congratulate you, your team, for the great
00:44work, great tennis that you're playing. For me, it's even more important with your team
00:52and yourself. The people around you are a great person. I respect you a lot as a player,
00:59but even more as a person, so congratulations. Then my family, my team. I'm a really, really
01:06lucky guy that I'm able to travel with part of my family, with a lot of part of my team
01:13as well, who are supporting me every day, telling me the things that I don't want to
01:20hear all the time. I really want to thank you for the support, the hard work. It has
01:29been a difficult moment the last two months, but with all the hard work that we've been
01:38doing the last month, playing great tennis, playing great matches, and having a good time
01:45off the court, I was able to have the joy again on the court, to feel great, to feel
01:54with energy, to travel motivated again. So it's all thanks to you. So thank you very
02:00much for everything and this week especially.
02:06Then I would like to thank all the people who are involved to this amazing tournament,
02:14to make this tournament possible. This is an amazing tournament. Last year I enjoyed
02:20a lot playing here. It was my first time and everything was great. It was a great week,
02:28but this year I came here and it grew a lot. The tournament is even better, so I enjoy
02:37playing here. I enjoy having my time here in Beijing, which is an unbelievable place
02:44to be as well, really peaceful at least for me. So it's great. The people during the whole
02:52week have been really supportive in the practices, in the matches. They gave me a lot of energy
03:01every day, so I would like to thank you and I'm really happy to leave my first trophy
03:06here in China in front of all of you. So thank you very much and see you soon.
03:13First of all, I would like to start with Carlos and your team. You're doing an amazing job.
03:19Keep going. You have a great team behind you. You have a great family, so I wish you only
03:25the best. Hopefully we can still play a couple of more times in the future, which I'm quite
03:31sure. So it's always a big pleasure to share a court with you, so thank you so much.
03:40Then of course my team at my box and my family and everyone who supports me daily, who understands
03:49me, which is sometimes not easy. But the work never stops. I'm obviously very happy to be
03:58in this position today, we felt sure, but it was a great battle again and in a couple
04:05of days there is again a new opportunity. So thank you so much for your support.
04:11Thanks everyone to make this event such a special event. This is one of the best tournaments
04:16we have throughout the whole year. Thanks to the ball boys and all the sponsors. It's
04:23amazing and I love to play here. The crowd means so much to me, so thank you everyone
04:30for the support.
04:34And that's it. I have nothing more to add. Thank you so much and see you next year.
