Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev suffered an immediate default during his China Open clash after a ball struck into the crowd injured a spectator's eye.
Officials disqualified Daniil Medvedev from his China Open semi-final fixture against Novak Djokovic following an on-court incident involving a spectator.
Medvedev hit a ball into the stands while trailing 7-5, 5-3 against the Serbian. The rebounding ball struck a spectator directly in the eye, resulting in his prompt default from the tournament match.
