Wu Yibing Stuns Daniil Medvedev in Hangzhou Quarterfinal Comeback

The upset halts Medvedev’s early restart under a new coaching team.

Overview

  • Wu prevailed 5-7, 7-6(5), 6-4 after trailing by a set and a break, capitalizing when Medvedev double‑faulted twice while serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set during a three-hour, 11-minute duel.
  • Wu reached his first ATP semifinal since 2023 in Dallas and will face either Alexander Bublik or Dalibor Svrcina.
  • Medvedev was competing in his first tournament since ending his eight-year partnership with Gilles Cervara and had debuted with a straight-sets win over qualifier Nishesh Basavareddy.
  • The draw had opened earlier when top seed Andrey Rublev fell to qualifier Valentin Royer, who later defeated Learner Tien to secure a semifinal berth.
  • Corentin Moutet advanced to the other semifinal after Tomas Martin Etcheverry retired while leading by a set, setting up an all-French clash between Moutet and Royer.
