Daniil Medvedev's China Open campaign ended in a default after a ball he struck accidentally hit a spectator in the face during his semi-final against Novak Djokovic in Beijing. Medvedev was trailing 7-5, 5-3 when the incident happened, leaving Djokovic three points from reaching the final. The match had already lasted almost two and a half hours.
Djokovic was serving for the match when he hit a forehand volley winner to make the score 15-15. The ball bounced off the advertising wall behind the court.
