Hey, tennis fans It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, and I’m super excited to share some hot news from the Shanghai Masters. You know how much I love tennis, and this season has been absolutely thrilling. Let’s dive into the latest action at the Shanghai Masters!
Jannik Sinner, the world’s number one tennis player, has just made a statement with his impressive win over Daniil Medvedev. This match was a real nail-biter, folks Sinner faced off against Medvedev in the quarter-finals and came out on top with a convincing 6-1, 6-4 victory. The Italian star took just an hour and 24 minutes to seal the deal, showcasing his incredible form and skill on the court.
Sinner’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. He fired nine aces and only dropped 12 points in nine service games. Medvedev, on the other hand, struggled with his first serve and couldn’t find his footing behind the second serve. This led to Medvedev suffering three breaks from four opportunities offered by Sinner.
The match started with Sinner claiming the opening game with a service winner. He generated two break chances in the second after a backhand down the line winner. Medvedev netted a routine backhand on the first break point, losing serve and experiencing an early setback. Sinner held at love in the third game with a lob winner, cementing the break and settling into a fine rhythm.
Sinner’s dominance continued as he served for the opener in game seven and landed an ace to wrap up the first part of the duel in 25 minutes. Medvedev held after a deuce in the first game of the second set but faced more issues at 1-1. Sinner dropped five games against Medvedev but ultimately came out on top.
This win marks Jannik Sinner’s tenth semi-final of the season and sets up a potential clash with Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals. The two players have already faced off recently at the Beijing Open, where Alcaraz emerged victorious in a thrilling three-set match.
