The remaining quarter -final places on the ATP 500 in Beijing will be distributed on Sunday, when Daniil Medvedev and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Square Off. Flavio Cobolli and student ten are also in action.
(8) Daniil Medvedev vs. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
Medvedev and Davidovich Fokina will face each other for the sixth time in their career when they collide in round two of the China on Sunday. Although the head-to-head series 4-1 is in favor of Medvedev, Davidovich Fokina won their most recent meeting in the Montreal Masters from 2024 (6-4, 1-6, 6-2) and that can be a sign of the time.
Davidovich Fokina is in the middle of a great season in which he has three second place (Delray Beach, Acapulco, Washington). The 20th rank Spaniard lost early at the US Open, but he came back on the right track on Thursday with a 6-1, 6-3 routing from Camilo Ugo Carabelli. Medvedev, who rejected Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-4 on Friday, has not won ATP title in Rome since the spring of 2023. The 29-year-old Russian is completely in 18th place in the ranking the reason why he recently split from the old coach Gilles Cervara. Based on the current form, Davidovich Fokina must really be considered the favorite in this matchup.
Pick: Davidovich Fokina and 3
Flavio Cobolli vs. student ten
Allseeded Matchups on an ATP 500 tournament are not much better than Cobolli vs. Ten. Both boys played great this season; Cobolli has a 28-20 record at ATP level and ten has earned 20 of its 25 lifetime Tour competition victories in 2025. Each impressed in the first round of Beijing. Cobolli region Andrey Rublev 7-6 (3), 6-3; Ten took Francisco Cerundolo 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 out.
Both men are All-Court players, but Beijing is one of the slowest hard courts on tour and who probably benefits Cobolli. The 25th ranking Italian has the firepower to touch through these circumstances, while ten more is a defensive counter -puncher who has done his best work in the early stages of his career on slightly faster surfaces. Cobolli has a lot of momentum on the heels of his Straight set victory over Rublev and that should bring him in the quarterfinals.
Pick: Cobolli in 3
