Dominic Thiem weathered some of Stefanos Tsitsipas' best tennis on Sunday to win his fourth title of the season 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 and further pad his hard-court resume at the China Open in Beijing.
Thiem, who qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals by reaching the ATP 500 final, broke in the 10th game of the second set to wrestle momentum away for good against the reigning Next Gen ATP Finals champion, who was going for his first ATP 500 crown.
Thiem was too locked in during the deciding set, and the Austrian, who also beat Roger Federer for the BNP Paribas Open title in March, won his second hard-court title in a season for the first time in his career.
The win, which gives Thiem 15 ATP Tour titles, also marks only the second time in his career that he has won four championships in a single year (2016). Thiem matches Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal as the ATP Tour title leaders in 2019.
