Daniil Medvedev disqualified in Beijing after hitting a fan with a ball

The incident occurred when the score was 7-5, 5-3 for Novak Djokovic. After the exchange, the ball bounced off the wall behind Medvedev. He hit her hard towards the stands.

The ball hit the fan's face. The match was interrupted and the injured spectator left the stands, assisted by other people, covering his face with his hands.

The judges decided to disqualify the Russian tennis player, which meant Djokovic advanced to the final of the tournament in Beijing.

In a post-match interview, the Serb expressed sympathy for the fan. At the same time, he noted that in his opinion, Medvedev did not do it on purpose. Djokovic himself was involved in a similar incident. In 2020, he hit a linesman with the ball.
