Keys to the match

Jodar can extend rallies, come back after a poor start, and use his forehand to take the initiative, particularly on second serves.
On the other side, Medvedev can impose long, low trajectories, move Jodar around, and neutralize his first shot, relying on his experience on hard courts and his status as a former Shanghai champion.
Scenario favorable to Jodar: his comeback momentum and forehand aggression disrupt Medvedev.
Scenario favorable to Medvedev: Jodar’s workload of more than nine hours of play and his four matches won in three sets eventually reduce his movement or serving quality.

Players & fitness

Both players were entered and had won their quarterfinals on October 16, making their availability for the semifinal probable.
No injury, medical limitation, or intention to withdraw was verified.
Jodar is coming off a 2 h 22 min quarterfinal and Medvedev a 2 h 08 min quarterfinal; their actual physical condition before the match remains unknown.
