Daniil Medvedev forfeited his semifinal prize money and 200 ATP points after being defaulted at the China Open on October 5, VnExpress reported. The article puts the usual semifinal payment at $219,925, which he could not retain following the incident in which a ball struck a spectator. Losing the points increases pressure on his bid to qualify for the ATP Finals, although remaining late-season tournaments still offer opportunities to improve his position. The update concerns the financial and ranking consequences of the October 5 incident, rather than a second occurrence.
