The Beijing tournament enters its decisive phase this Monday in the quarterfinals. The eight survivors are looking for a place in the penultimate round of the first round of the Asian tour that will reach its climax in the coming days with the Shanghai Masters 1000.
After suffering in his first two games, Jannik Sinner will face Czech Jiri LeheckaSpanish executioners Pedro Martínez and Roberto Bautista.
The world number 1 is not fully committed, partly because of the decision made by WADA to appeal his acquittal in the clostebol doping case in March. The World Anti-Doping Agency is seeking “between 1 and 2 years” of punishment for the Italian, a proposal that has troubled him.
Also at the bottom of the table we will have a rivalry between the revelation of the contest, Yunchaokete Bua Chinese tennis player living the week of his life in front of his audience and the winner of the match between Andrey Rublev and Alejandro Davidovich, which was not completed due to rain.
In the lower part of the painting, Daniil Medvedev will be looking to continue the good streak shown so far in his match against Italian Fabio Cobolliwho defeated Aleksander Bublik in a grueling first round match and Russian Pavel Kotov in the round of 16.
The winner of that match will be Carlos Alcaraz’s opponent in the semifinals if he can defeat Karen Khachanov. which he won on the three occasions where he faced each other (Roland Garros 2022, Hamburg 2022 and Madrid 2023).
