Djokovic v Zverev in China Open quarter-final on October 4

Sixth seed Novak Djokovic will face top seed Alexander Zverev in a quarter-final at the ATP 500 China Open in Beijing on October 4.

Djokovic reached the quarter-finals by defeating Chinese wildcard Yunchaokete Bu 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-2 in a match that lasted a couple of hours and 52 minutes; it is his first appearance at the venue since 2015. The 24-time Grand Slam champ is now 31-0 in Beijing, a run that matches Rafael Nadal‘s winning streak at Roland Garros for the longest unbeaten run at a single ATP-level event, and he has won the ATP China Open six times, with his last title in 2015.

Alexander Zverev advanced to the last eight after a 6-0, 6-3 victory over home hope Shang Juncheng. The German has added two major titles this season, claiming Roland Garros and the US Open, and is described in coverage as a two-time Slam winner.

Their meeting in Beijing will be the 15th tour clash between Djokovic and Zverev, with Djokovic leading their head-to-head 9-5. Djokovic has reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon and the finals in Melbourne this season but is yet to record a title this year.

The match will be played on the outdoor hard courts of the China National Tennis Center. FanCode will stream the quarter-final for Indian viewers, Sky UK will broadcast in the United Kingdom, and Tennis Channel will offer live coverage in the United States; fans worldwide can watch through their respective broadcasting channels.

The Djokovic–Zverev quarter-final is scheduled for October 4 (Sunday) and will begin at 1:00 pm local time, 4:30 pm in India.
