Zverev's Struggles Continue: Falls to Medvedev in Beijing Quarterfinal

Zverev's back pain may have played a role in his performance. He had previously complained about recurring back issues after his match against Corentin Moutet. During the Beijing tournament, Zverev threw his racket twice in frustration, receiving a warning for the second incident. Despite his struggles, Zverev has a bye in the first round of the upcoming Shanghai tournament, providing him an opportunity to regroup.
Zverev's loss to Medvedev in Beijing adds to his recent struggles against the Russian player. With a first-round bye in Shanghai, Zverev will aim to bounce back and improve his performance, potentially addressing his back pain and forehand issues along the way.
