Daniil Medvedev could not showcase his best tennis today in his clash against Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals of the ATP Shanghai 2024. During the press conference, the Russian explained further details about the physical issues that have affected him in the match: "Unfortunately, I had shoulder pain, which I didn't expect. It started yesterday during the match, but I thought it was nothing, and I still think, well, I hope it's nothing serious, I will have to undergo tests tomorrow. It didn't allow me to serve as I wanted, and with Jannik, the serve is crucial because he is a great server now, it's hard to break him, so you need to serve well, and without the serve, it's difficult. When you're in pain, your energy is not the same. So in the second set, I tried to increase my energy, and that helped me a bit, but still, without the serve, it's hard to beat Jannik, and that's what happened."
