Daniil Medvedev bounced back from his disqualification at the China Open to secure a victory in the Shanghai Masters, defeating Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. The Russian, who was defaulted from his semi-final against Novak Djokovic for striking a spectator with a ball, now stands at sixth in the rankings. Medvedev, who played five days after his disqualification, held off Struff, a 59th-ranked player, overcoming an initial shaky start.
He recorded 21 aces in the match and will face either Czech qualifier Dalibor Svrcina or Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the next round.
