Overview

• The No. 2 seed beat qualifier Nishesh Basavareddy 6-2, 6-3 in 76 minutes to reach the Hangzhou Open quarterfinals.
• It was Medvedev’s first match since ending his eight-year collaboration with Gilles Cervara following his US Open loss to Benjamin Bonzi.
• Working with Johansson and Goetzke in what he called a “new project,” the former No. 1 won nine straight games and converted four of eight break points.
• With the victory, Medvedev improved his 2025 record to 27-18 while competing this week as World No. 18.
• Basavareddy entered from qualifying and had upset defending champion Marin Cilic in round one, and Medvedev will next face either Yibing Wu or Sebastian Korda.
