One break was enough for the Russian to triumph in the 1st set 6-4 after 45 minutes on the court. Zverev had 2 chances to break Daniil’s serve, but Medvedev saved them both.
The same thing happened in the 2nd set, as Daniil won after converting 1 break from 1 chance and again his German opponent 2 break opportunities but converted neither of them.
Medvedev will play for the title in Beijing against Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner, who are currently playing in the other ½ final in the tournament.
