Road to the Final
De Minaur punched his ticket to the championship match following a semi-final duel against Hubert Hurkacz, who was forced to retire due to injury midway through the second set after De Minaur had already claimed the opener. The Australian, who has enjoyed a stellar 39-18 campaign highlighted by an ATP 500 title in Rotterdam, has been in exceptional form this week, navigating a tough draw with victories over high-caliber opponents including Andrey Rublev and Mariano Navone.
On the other side of the net stands Novak Djokovic, whose elite level shows no signs of waning. The Serbian icon advanced through a gauntlet in Beijing, highlighted by victories over top-tier rivals Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev. The semifinal against Medvedev ended abruptly when the Russian was disqualified for striking a ball into the stands, though Djokovic was already in firm control with a 7-5, 5-3 lead.
