Jannik Sinner advances at the ATP Shanghai 2024 after scoring a great victory against Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals with a score of 6-1 and 6-4 in 1 hour and 20 minutes of play. The world number one started quickly, maintaining composure against the Russian's improvement. In the semifinals, the Italian player awaits his next opponent, who will come from the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Tomas Machac.
Despite the almost empty stands, as usual in this Asian tour, Sinner needed few witnesses to dominate from the very beginning of the match. Daniil, visibly frustrated with the score, didn't miss the chance to discuss with the chair umpire to express his complaints, although he was told to speak with his superior in an office once the match was over.
The attempts by Gilles Cervara and the few stadium fans did little to encourage Medvedev, who once again hit a wall against Jannik, solid on serve and patient from the baseline. It took the Italian less than half an hour to freeze a struggling Daniil, who promptly called for the circuit's physiotherapist to address the upper arm/shoulder area, where he had a muscle strain.
Sinner remains at the top
Inspiration came just in time for the Russian, who now managed to handle his opponent much better with a more creative game, some approaches, and a powerful backhand. However, the improvement wasn't enough to stop a problem-free Jannik, always finding a solution, always hitting winners from any part of the court. No matter how hard he tried, Sinner was always one step ahead.
Medvedev fought for every point, even having chances to turn things around and extend the match, but the discomfort in his right shoulder and the rough start greatly influenced his performance in the quarterfinal clash. On the other side, cool as ever, Jannik avoided risks to secure his spot in the Chinese tournament's semifinals.
