Second seed Daniil Medvedev had an easier than expected 6-4 6-3 semi-final win over familiar rival Alexander Zverev on Tuesday to book his place in the China Open final where he will face either Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner.
"It's an amazing, strong field so it's great to be in the final against one of the amazing Sinner or Alcaraz," Medvedev said after the match.
Zverev won the Chengdu title last week, but the German's seven-match winning streak came to an end as Medvedev's strong serve saw him save all four break points he faced. "Both of us are big servers so it came down to just a few opportunities and I managed to serve better when I had break points to save than he did."In the women's tournament, top seed Aryna Sabalenka rallied from behind in both sets to beat British qualifier Katie Boulter 7-5 7-6 and set up a third round clash with Jasmine Paolini."Last year at Indian Wells, I wasn't in my best shape. I was struggling with a lot of different things," Sabalenka said.
Gauff was down for the count with Martic serving at 5-4 in the decider, but the third seed broke to go level and raised her game in the tiebreak to deny her opponent a fifth career top-five victory.
