Novak Djokovic extends bonkers Beijing record after bizarre Daniil Medvedev default

Novak Djokovic maintained his perfect record in Beijing by advancing to the final after Daniil Medvedev was disqualified during their semifinal match. The incident occurred while Djokovic led 7-5, 5-3, when Medvedev struck a spectator with a ball, resulting in his immediate removal from the tournament.

Djokovic, who expressed empathy for his opponent due to his own past disqualification at the 2020 U.S. Open, will now face Alex de Minaur for the title.

This victory marks the Serbian's 33rd consecutive win in the Chinese capital, further extending his unbeaten streak at the event. Medvedev now faces potential penalties, including the loss of prize money and ranking points, which could impact his standing for the ATP Finals.
