There are many ways to win, and the best in the world are capable of exploring all of them. Jannik Sinner once again demonstrated his greatness at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024 with a victory that was more about heart and strong mentality than good tennis. Tomás Martín Etcheverry seemed superior at times but ended up surrendering to the number 1. The final result was 6-7 (3) 6-4 6-2.

At this stage of the season, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect Jannik Sinner to relax a bit, but at the same time, watching the Italian play makes it seem impossible for him to lose against anyone outside the world's best. Tomás Martín Etcheverry stepped on the court determined to make his defeat costly, and that's exactly what he did. It was a great clash witnessed in the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024.

It is evident that the Argentine has the necessary weapons to put anyone in trouble, as he demonstrated in a first set full of spectacle and equality. The serves prevailed against returners who couldn't find a way to harm the opponent. Offensive tennis, face to face, with Etcheverry moving his hand very well without losing depth and finding ways to prevent Sinner from playing comfortably. With these sensations, they reached a tiebreak where the South American player served marvelously and took risks with parallel shots, allowing him to overwhelm the world's number 1.

- Sinner seemed to have physical discomfort in the second set, but reacted fiercely

The Italian's reaction in the second set was expected to be impressive, given the season he is having, but alarms went off in the initial phase due to a gait that hinted at physical discomfort. However, the Italian put on his work suit and managed to secure a break that he couldn't maintain. Etcheverry was very close to victory, but he started hitting his forehand tight, making errors that undermined his confidence and allowed Jannik to equalize the score and lead the match to a decisive set.

Abundant tension was what was experienced in a third set that Etcheverry entered still somewhat stunned by his opponent's strong reaction, which led to him losing his service. Just when it seemed like he was going to surrender without a fight, he rediscovered his best tennis, saving break points in the fifth game and escaping relentless pressure from the Argentine in the sixth. That was the extent of the Argentine's resistance, as he had to pay homage to the intangibles of the emerging legend that Jannik Sinner presents. Already qualified for the round of 16 of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024, he awaits the opponent of Carballés against Shelton.
