Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic: the eighth wonder is served

Everything is ready, in Shanghai, for the final between two tennis giants

Jannik Sinner, world No. 1 and the number one seed on the draw, against Novak Djokovic, former world No. 1 and the No. 2 seed on the draw. A special challenge is being staged at the Shanghai Masters 1000 between two giants of world tennis. The Serb is seeking his fifth success in the tournament, the Italian would like to enter, for the first time, the roll of honor.

It will be the eighth match between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. The record smiles on the Serb, who has won four of the seven matches played to date. However, Sinner, in the last four direct clashes, has won on three occasions. In fact, è yet another confrontation between the symbol of the old generation of champions (after the retirement of Rafa Nadal, è only Novak Djokovic is left) and the present and future of world tennis, namely Jannik Sinner.

Novak Djokovic, in Shanghai, has regained the spirit of the past. He wants to give himself a major victory before the end of 2024. The Shanghai Masters 1000 è a great opportunity (should he fail, he would be left with Bercy and the ATP Finals). Moreover, being able to beat Jannik Sinner would give him even more awareness that he can play, on equal terms, with the newcomer (the Sinner-Alcaraz duo).

Jannik Sinner, for his part, è already certain that he will finish the season as world No. 1. He has won two Slams and played divinely virtually all year. Sending (again) Novak Djokovic to the mat would be yet another icing on an already special cake. To the court the arduous judgment. Time for Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic. Eighth challenge, not to be missed.
