Medvedev and Andreeva Shine in Beijing Tennis Tournament
The Asian Series of tennis tournaments is heating up in Beijing, where Daniil Medvedev has reached the semifinals for the second consecutive year. The third seed showcased his skills by defeating French players Gael Monfils and Adriano Mannarino without dropping a set. In a challenging third-round match against Italian Flavio Cobolli, Medvedev displayed resilience, winning 6:2, 6:4 despite facing multiple break points. This victory sets him up for a highly anticipated semifinal against Carlos Alcaraz.
Meanwhile, Russian Mirra Andreeva is making waves in the women's tournament, having secured her place in the 1/8 finals after two impressive comebacks. The silver medalist from the Paris Games initially lost the first set against Irina Begu but bounced back to win convincingly. In her next match against Donna Vekic, Andreeva faced a shaky start but ultimately triumphed, demonstrating her determination and skill. She will face Magda Linett in the next round.
In contrast, Daria Kasatkina faced another early exit, losing to Amanda Anisimova for the fifth time in her career. Despite a strong start, Kasatkina was unable to maintain her momentum and fell short, continuing her struggles against the American.
As the tournament progresses, all eyes are on Medvedev and Andreeva as they aim for success in Beijing.
