The main reference point in the api.tennis archive is 2015: back then Novak Djokovic won the Beijing final against Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-2. Ahead of the 2026 tournament, this is the latest line in the data where Djokovic is listed as Beijing champion.
Djokovic’s finals: Berdych and Nadal
In 2014, Djokovic defeated Tomas Berdych 6-0 6-2. In 2015, the final opponent was Rafael Nadal, with the score 6-2 6-2. In both lines, the surface is the same: hard.
Based on the final scores in the sample, Djokovic has no dropped sets: 6-0 6-2 against Berdych and 6-2 6-2 against Nadal. This pair of finals gives a very tight snapshot of his Beijing stretch in the api.tennis data: four sets, and none of them went to a tiebreak.
What followed his last title in the archive
In the men’s Beijing lines after 2015, the listed champions are Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, Nikoloz Basilashvili and Dominic Thiem. Their finals: Murray over Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 7-6(2) in 2016, Nadal over Nick Kyrgios 6-2 6-1 in 2017, Basilashvili over Juan Martin del Potro 6-4 6-4 in 2018, Thiem over Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-6 6-4 6-1 in 2019.
The current Beijing in the data is WTA 1000
The 2026 tournament in the api.tennis block is listed as a WTA 1000 in Beijing: hard, prize money $9,4 mln, singles draw of 96 players, dates from 2026-09-30 to 2026-10-11. This is the women’s draw, and its current field already differs from the archived men’s lines with Djokovic.
In round of 128 among the current matches are Paula Badosa - Daria Kasatkina 6-4 5-6, Magda Linette - Kateřina Siniaková 6-4 2-1, Lin Zhu - Storm Hunter 1-2. The schedule also includes Alycia Parks - Lin Zhu, Eva Lys - Xinran Sun, Yushan Shao - Anastasia Zakharova, Xinyu Gao - Panna Udvardy, Marina Bassols Ribera - Kamilla Rakhimova, Lanlana Tararudee - Camila Osorio, Harriet Dart - Yihan Qu.
According to api.tennis, Djokovic’s Beijing line in the archive rests on two back-to-back finals - 2014 and 2015 - and both wins came without dropping a set in the decisive matches. The current Beijing tournament is already presented as a WTA 1000 with a large 96-player women’s draw, so the Djokovic archive and the current draw exist in the data as different parts of the Beijing context.
