Another flawless test of the blue
Another standout performance by Jannik Sinner. The world No. 1 won the semifinals at the Shanghai ATP tournament by sweeping Daniil Medveded in a peremptory manner. The Italian, in one hour and 24 minutes of play, got the better of the Russian with a dry 6-1, 6-4.
Russian conditioned in his performance on the court by a shoulder problem. Also required the intervention of the physiotherapist to try to limit the pain and thus allow him to at least finish the match. On the other side, sumptuous Jannik Sinner, increasingly master of his own destiny on the court.
In the first partial, the Italian did not leave a single chance for Daniil Medvedev to enter the match. The set flows by very quickly with Jannik Sinner who, playing with disarming ease, closes with a dry 6-1 in just 25 minutes of play with seven winning points and only two free errors.
The second partial also follows the same pattern. The Russian tries to find an antidote to the technical superiority of the world number 1 but the results are not what he hoped for. At 4-3 in favor of the Italian, physiotherapist on court to comfort the Russian tennis player. Down 0-30 at 5-3 to Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev manages, with pride, to bring the game home. On the next, Jannik Sinner, saves the first break point of the match and closes 6-4. Sixth semifinal of the season forfeited for the world No. 1.
