Adrian Mannarino eliminated in the second round in Beijing by Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev opposed to Cobolli in the quarterfinals

Mannarino’s great merit is to have achieved an excellent second half of the first set. Quickly trailing 1-4, he pulled back to 4 all, before posing a threat by dominating the vast majority of long rallies. Strangely, Medvedev made a lot of unforced errors on the backhand (13 in two sets, out of a total of 26). The Russian had to erase two break points at 5-5, then a set point at 5-6 in the tie-break. The extreme quality of his service got him out of trouble. A backhand foul from Mannarino folded the first set.
