Tennis: Djokovic through to the China Open final after Medvedev was defaulted

# Tennis: Six-time champion Novak Djokovic advanced to the China Open final after Daniil Medvedev was defaulted from their semifinal clash in Beijing. The Serb was serving for the match at 7-5, 5-3 when a ball bounced off the back wall; the Russian accidentally hit it, sending it into the air and striking a spectator in the eye. Medvedev was defaulted and will lose all points and prize money earned from the event. Djokovic will face Australian Alex de Minaur in today’s championship match.
