The world No. 5 was disqualified after a shot struck a front-row spectator, ending his semifinal against Novak Djokovic.
- On Monday, Daniil Medvedev was disqualified from his China Open semifinal against Novak Djokovic after hitting a ball into the stands that struck a spectator in the front row.
- Djokovic was serving for the match at 7-5, 5-3 when Medvedev hit the ball into the stands in apparent frustration, abruptly ending the contest.
- The spectator, sitting in the front row, clutched his left eye in pain as he left the gallery assisted by stadium staff.
