Carreno Busta News

Carreno Busta, who lost in the U.S. Open semi-final after leading Alexander Zverev by two sets, took advantage to win the opening set -- the first conceded by Djokovic in the tournament. Djokovic looked flat and had to save break points early in the second set before raising his game at the important moment to win the next two sets. Djokovic`s dramatic demise in New York deprived him of a chance to win an 18th Grand Slam title and move to within one of Rafa Nadal`s haul and two shy of Roger Federer`s men`s record.

Austria's Dominic Thiem edged Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 here for his first victory of this year's ATP Finals. 

Qualifier Shapovalov, 18, was beaten 7-6, (7/2), 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/3) by 26-year-old Carreno Busta, who also made the French Open quarter-finals this year.
