Aryna Sabalenka loses to 34th-ranked Bartunkova

Novak Djokovic rolled back the years to oust Alexander Zverev from the China Open on Sunday, beating the top seed 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 to set up a semi-final with Daniil Medvedev.

The 39-year-old electrified a packed crowd in Beijing, where he extended an astonishing winning streak to 32 matches. Djokovic got off to a poor start, double-faulting twice in the first game to help Zverev, a decade his junior, break serve instantly.
