Daniil Medvedev is playing with confidence but lost to Jan-Lennard Struff at Wimbledon. I think Struff’s serve can hold up in Beijing where over 20.5 games is my best bet.

Medvedev Finding Form in Asia
Daniil Medvedev won titles in Brisbane, Dubai and lost the final in Indian Wells but couldn’t reach the same heights on clay and grass.
His return to hard courts failed to yield results, including a straight sets defeat to Frances Tiafoe in the US Open fourth round. He won the Hangzhou Open last week, defeating Andrey Rublev in the final.
The Russian made a winning start in Beijing, defeating Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4 6-2 after rattling down 12 aces.
Struff Struggling to go on Deep Runs
Jan-Lennard Struff went on a great run at Wimbledon where he beat Brandon Nakashima, Daniil Medvedev and Hubert Hurkacz. He ran into Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals where he went down 7-5 7-6 6-3.
It was enough to get the German back into the Top 50. It didn’t last long after he failed to get past the second round in his next four events.
Struff breezed past Thiago Agustin Tirante 6-1 6-4 in the first round in Beijing, winning 64% of his 2nd serves and saving one break point.
