De Minaur, ranked No. 7, has put together a consistent and impressive 50-18 record this season. The Australian has been one of the most reliable performers on hard courts, winning the ATP 500 title in Washington and finishing runner-up in Rotterdam earlier in the year.

Medvedev, on the other hand, has endured a turbulent year. The former World No. 1 sits at No. 18 with a 33-20 record, struggling for consistency and suffering numerous early exits.

Despite flashes of his old brilliance, like reaching the final in Halle and a few strong runs at Masters events, his season has been overshadowed by dips in form and on-court frustrations. Still, the Russian remains a tough opponent capable of turning things around when his rhythm clicks.

Meanwhile, Medvedev reached the semifinals in Beijing with dominant wins over Zverev, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and Cameron Norrie, but retired in a tight match against Learner Tien.

In Hangzhou, he was upset by Yibing Wu in the quarterfinals. In Shanghai, he advanced to the quarterfinals after wins over Dalibor Svrcina, Davidovich Fokina, and a tough battle against rising American Tien.

De Minaur is poised to edge out Medvedev in a tight three-set battle. With strong post-US Open form, the Aussie's confidence is high. Medvedev, while solid, has shown vulnerability with his recent retirement and overall form.
