Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev are no strangers to facing each other on the ATP tour, with the duo set to clash again in the semifinal stage of the 2023 China Open.

The dynamic matchup has occurred on 16 occasions, with Medvedev leading 9-7. However, Zverev won their most recent meeting at this year's Cincinnati Masters, and hopes to keep the momentum going.

“It seems like we have to play each other every tournament this year," said Zverev. "It’s the 5th time we’re gonna play each other. Every time we play, it’s a battle. I’m looking forward to what’s to come. He’s playing great tennis. I hope I can bring my A game.”
