AustraliaIn the China Open tennis tournament, Daniil Medvedev was disqualified for hitting a ball into the crowd during his semifinal match against Novak Djokovic, resulting in a spectator suffering an eye injury. The incident occurred when Medvedev struck a backhand that sent the ball into the stands, striking a male spectator. Medvedev apologized and stated he did not intend to cause harm, while Djokovic expressed sympathy for both the victim and Medvedev, recalling his own disqualification at the 2020 US Open. As a result of the disqualification, Alex de Minaur will face Djokovic in the final. De Minaur, who advanced after his opponent Hubert Hurkacz withdrew due to injury, aims to become the first player to defeat Djokovic in 34 matches at the China Open. The outcome will impact the ATP Finals qualification standings.
