Medvedev advances at Shanghai in 1st match since China Open disqualification.
Alcaraz wins opener
SHANGHAI (AP) --- Daniil Medvedev has won his first match since being
disqualified at the China Open for hitting a spectator in the eye with a ball
he hit into the stands.
Medvedev beat Jan-Lennard Struff 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a second-round match on
Saturday at the Shanghai Masters, an ATP 1000 tennis event.
Medvedev, who now holds a 10-2 career edge over Struff, had been disqualified
during his semifinal Monday against Novak Djokovic for hitting the spectator
with a ball the Russian player had hit into the stands at Beijing.
Medvedev, who apologized after the incident, saying it was an accident, lost
the $285,000 prize money he would have received for making the semifinals in
Beijing.
It was the fifth-seeded Medvedev's first match since the disqualification. He
had a bye in the first round.
No trouble for Alcaraz Second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz, who won last week's Japan Open, recorded an opening 6-3, 6-3 win over Juan Manuel Cerundolo in a night match in Shanghai. It extended his winning streak to seven matches. In other second-round matches Saturday, fourth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Camilo Ugo Carabelli 4-6, 7-6 (1), 7-5. No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew from Shanghai this week when he announced he was taking the rest of 2026 off because of a right knee injury. ___ See AP's full tennis coverage here
