Just play your game, Denis. You're up a break. Play smart.

One service hold away from advancing. Serving much better as the match has progressed.

47 winners to 38 unforced errors (although to be fair, the bulk of those errors came in the opening set). Sets 2 and 3 were some pretty fine tennis from both players.

I'm on the left coast, so it's still early here. I'll try to get at least one set in anyway.

Milos drops the first set in a tie-breaker. Going to bed now, hoping to wake up to good news.

Medvedev was the better player, it's as simple as that. The semi-finals are now set in Tokyo, Denis will face Medvedev and Kei Nishikori takes on Richard Gasquet.

Denis broken early. Is Medvedev gonna knock off both Canadians?

Shapo this week has been a slow starter and then ramps up his game in sets 2 and 3. Medvedev played very well against Milos last night, so Denis has his hands full, that's for sure.

That was a tight hold of serve for Denis but he does it. He’s gotta break back now though.

Denis drops the first set 6-3. Needs to raise the level of his game big time.

At the China Open, Gaby Dabrowski and partner Xu Yifan are into the women's doubles final. They have also qualified for the end of the season WTA finals.

Denis broken early again in set 2. Denis shaking his head and pretty much saying there’s nothing I can do.

It's not looking good at the moment.

It’s the unforced errors getting him again. Way to high.

Edit: At least he’s not bageled.

Medvedev is serving very well, every time Denis appears to have a chance, Medvedev slams the door shut with a big serve.
