Shanghai Masters News

alt
Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev has pulled out of his upcoming home tournament, the VTB Kremlin Cup in Moscow, citing exhaustion. 
alt
Zeverer will now lock horns with Greek tennis sensation Stefanpos Tsitispas, who stunned top-seed Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to reach semi-final of the tournament.   
alt
Tsitsipas will now lock horns with Daniil Medvedev for a place in the summit showdown of the tournament.
alt
With the win, Djokovic has also improved his head-to-head rivalry against 20-year-old left-hander to 3-0. 
alt
The 30-year-old Argentine who is ranked fourth in the world and had been enjoying one of the best seasons of his career is wearing a splint on his right leg.
alt
Djokovic climbed up to the 2nd spot after claiming the Shanghai Masters title for the 4th time against Croatia's Borna Coric on Sunday. 
alt
The 21-year-old saved three match points to hold serve in the ninth game before Djokovic served out to clinch his fourth title of the season.
alt
Federer admitted that he could have done a better job in serving, adding the Croatian had "more punch" than him.
alt
A win in Shanghai will add the 72nd trophy to Djokovic`s total tally of career titles, making it all the more impressive. 
alt
Federer is hopeful that his close wins against Spain`s Bautista Agut and Daniil Medvedev of Russia would be helpful while facing the world number twelve on Friday.
alt
Djokovic, who received a first-round bye could pass Roger Federer at number two in the world rankings if he reaches Sunday`s final.
alt
Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios` previous outbursts and bad behaviour have meant that umpires are probably keeping a closer eye on him than his opponents, according to compatriot Todd Woodbridge.
alt
Coric, seeded 13th, will next face American qualifier Bradley Klahn, who claimed a hard-fought 4-6 6-4 6-3 win over Nick Kyrgios.
alt
The 19-times Grand Slam winner claimed his 94th title and sixth this year with an emphatic defeat of Nadal in the Shanghai final and is hungry for a first ATP Finals win since 2011.
alt
The Swiss world number two beat Nadal in the finals of the Australian Open and Miami Masters and in the last 16 at Indian Wells earlier this year, and never looked like losing to his long-time rival in Shanghai, firing 10 aces as he cruised to victory.
alt
The celebrated duo have faced one another 37 times, with the Spaniard and world number one Nadal winning 23 of their contests. Nadal, a 16-time Grand Slam champion, triumphed at the US Open and then last week at the China Open for his sixth title of another remarkable campaign.
alt
Cilic had only ever got the better of 16-time Grand Slam winner Nadal once in five previous meetings, but he made him work hard for this latest win.
alt
In the other last-four showdown Rafael Nadal will play Marin Cilic after the red-hot world number one had to fight his way past Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-7 (4/7), 6-3.
alt
The remaining two quarter-finals pit number two Roger Federer against unseeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet. The winner will play Argentina`s Juan Martin del Potro or Viktor Troicki of Serbia in the last four.
alt
The Spaniard, who has never won the Shanghai showpiece, is chasing a seventh title in a brilliant season and a hat-trick of triumphs on the trot, having been crowned US Open and China Open champion in recent weeks.
