Novak Djokovic beats top seed Alexander Zverev at the China Open on Sunday, winning 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. The victory sends Djokovic into a semifinal against Daniil Medvedev. All three outlets describe Djokovic’s win as a major upset and highlight that it comes with Djokovic playing at a high level against the tournament’s leading player.
The reports also note the setting and context for Djokovic’s performance in Beijing, where he draws a strong reaction from the crowd. Inquirer.net adds additional detail, saying the win extends Djokovic’s winning streak to 32 matches and calls the match one of his best of the year. It also links the momentum to Djokovic’s recent five-set triumph over Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open. Japan Today and NDTV largely focus on the result and its immediate impact on the bracket, without adding further matchup background.
