Medvedev disqualified from China Open for hitting fan with a ball

Daniil Medvedev was disqualified from his semifinal against Novak Djokovic at the China Open after he hit a ball into the stands that struck a spectator in the front row on Monday. The spectator was helped out of the arena, holding a hand over his left eye. Djokovic was serving for the match at 7-5, 5-3 when Medvedev hit the ball into the stands in apparent frustration. After a forehand volley winner from Djokovic, the ball bounced off the advertising boards and back towards Medvedev, who smacked a backhand that sailed into the stands. The spectator who was hit was helped away as Medvedev stood on the court watching.
