Medvedev secures his fifth consecutive win over Zverev, set to face Lener at the semifinals, Sinner meets Deminor for the 11th time

Despite Medvedev’s poor form and falling to 18th in ATP rankings, Zverev remains unable to overcome him. In the China Open quarterfinals, Medvedev beat second seed Zverev in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 to reach the semifinals.

This was their 21st match against each other, with Medvedev leading the head-to-head 14-7, showing a dominant advantage.

This marks Zverev’s fifth straight defeat to Medvedev. Since Zverev’s injury at the 2022 French Open, they have played nine times, with Zverev winning only once.

After Zverev’s exit, Medvedev will face Lener in the bottom half semifinal. Lener advanced by defeating fourth seed Musetti 4-6, 6-3, 3-0 after Musetti retired due to injury. Remember the Australian Open this year when Medvedev was eliminated early in the second round? His opponent then was Lener. They battled through five sets, including three tiebreaks, with Lener narrowly prevailing. The five-set score was 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-7(8), 1-6, 7-6(7).

Can Medvedev achieve a perfect revenge in the Beijing semifinals? Matches with uncertainty are always the most exciting to watch.

Semifinal schedule:

In the top half, Sinner defeated Marlosan 6-1, 7-5, while Deminor’s opponent Mensik retired before completing a set. The semifinal will be Sinner versus Deminor. Their head-to-head stands at 10-0, with Deminor having taken only one set off Sinner. Deminor’s technical strengths—quick movement and fast strokes—have been completely overwhelmed by Sinner.
