Novak Djokovic will play Alex de Minaur in the China Open final in Beijing on Tuesday, after his semi-final against Daniil Medvedev ended in controversy. Medvedev was disqualified after hitting a member of the crowd with a stray ball.
Medvedev Punished
The Russian has already been severely punished for his actions, with Djokovic advancing to the final as a result. Medvedev has been stripped of ranking points and has lost £165,000 following the incident.
Djokovic's Quest
The Serb is now seeking another victory to add to a hugely accomplished career. Questions about how much longer he remains at the top have lingered, with Djokovic turning 40 next year. For now, attention is on what the veteran can achieve on the court against De Minaur.
The action from Beijing begins at noon UK time.
