Tennis player Daniil Medvedev was disqualified ​from his China Open semi-final clash with Novak ​Djokovic after hitting a rebounding ball into the ⁠crowd, striking a spectator in the eye.⁣
⁣
World number five Medvedev was ​trailing 7-5 5-3 on Monday and had lost a point ​when he hit the ball coming off the wall.⁣
⁣
The spectator, who was sitting in the first row, clutched his left eye and ​appeared to be in pain as he walked out ​of the gallery, assisted by stadium staff. ⁣
⁣
"I was shocked, to be ‌honest... ⁠I hope that person is not badly injured," said sixth seed Djokovic, who was disqualified from the US Open in 2020 under similar circumstances. Djokovic said he felt sorry for Medvedev.⁣
