Daniil Medvedev delivered a new blow at the ATP Shanghai 2025. This Asian tour has been that oasis in the desert that the Russian so desperately needed. With a score of 6-4 and 6-4, the 18th-ranked player in the world surprised an Alex De Minaur who didn't show his usual energy levels. Daniil secured a ticket to the semifinals of the Chinese Masters 1000, where he will face Arthur Rinderknech.

From aces to endless rallies, De Minaur started the clash eager to come to the net, although it was clear that Daniil wouldn't make it easy for him. Like a gift from heaven, Medvedev perfectly exploited the moment of disconnection from the Australian, and although at times it seemed like the Russian wanted to return the favor, he held his own in the games.

Far from completely giving in, Alex stayed as close as possible to his opponent, but Medvedev managed to control the situation even amidst chaos. Despite this, a double fault gave De Minaur a glimmer of hope once more, but he could do little against a 214km/h serve. Fixing the mess caused by himself, Daniil could react in time to lay the first stone on the path.

After intense games where nerves had a significant role, a certain (false) calm entered the match, maintaining equality between the two players who continued to produce absolutely spectacular points. Despite being low on energy at times, the Australian was the one with the first break opportunities in the second set, but Daniil promptly shut the door on him.

A few points later, it was Medvedev who broke through that wall in one stroke, just as the physiotherapist entered the court to massage the Russian's thighs and forearms, who may have been experiencing a new episode of cramps. Even running on fumes, Daniil held on to close out his match and confirm his presence in the semifinals of the ATP Shanghai 2025, where he will face Arthur Rinderknech.
