Jannik Sinner advance in the ATP Shanghai 2024 after signing 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 at full speed, knowing how to stay calm as the Russian improved. Already in the semifinals, the Italian player awaits his next rival, who will emerge from the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Tomas Machac.
Even though the stands were practically empty, as we have become accustomed to on this Asian tour, Sinner needed few witnesses to take out the roller from the first moment the match began. Daniil, with some anger at the score, did not miss the opportunity to chat with the chair umpire to express his complaints, although he told the Russian that he would have to talk to his superior in an office once the match was over.
The attempts of Gilles Cervara and the few fans in the stadium did little to encourage Medvedev who crashed again against Jannik’s wall, solid on serve and patient from the back of the court. The Italian needed less than half an hour to freeze Daniil, who was quick to call the circuit physiotherapist to treat the upper area of ​​his right arm/shoulder, where he already had a muscle strip.
Sinner stays on top
Inspiration came in time for the Russian, who now held his rival much better with a more creative game, with some rises and with good impact with his backhand. The improvement was not enough to put a stop to Jannik’s ability to always come up with a solution, to find the winning shot from any part of the court. No matter how hard he tried, Sinner was always there, one step ahead.
Medvedev fought until the last point, even having the opportunity to return to the match and extend it, although that discomfort in his right shoulder and that rough start for the Russian would condition his role in the quarterfinal clash. On the other side, cold as usual, Jannik avoided the risk to confirm his ticket to the semifinals of the Chinese tournament.
