Medvedev Disqualified From China Semifinal After Ball Hits Fan in Eye

Medvedev’s run at the China tournament ended in disqualification after a ball he struck toward the stands hit a spectator in the eye during his semifinal against Djokovic.

The incident brought an abrupt halt to Medvedev’s campaign and cost him his ranking points and prize money from the tournament.

Djokovic advanced to the final following the disqualification, with the semifinal decided by the incident rather than a completed match.

The outcome recalled Djokovic’s own exclusion from a tournament over a similar incident, placing him on the other side of a disciplinary decision that ended an opponent’s run.
