Jannik Sinner outclassed Daniil Medvedev (6-1, 6-4) this Monday to reach the semi-finals of the Master 1000 in Shanghai. The Italian was quick, especially in the first round. Opposite, the Russian once again had difficulty serving, a regular problem this season. Broken twice, the world number 5 served only 53% of the first ball for 63% of points won behind (5/8) and only one point won on his second ball (1/7).
Conversely, the world number 1 performed in this area, even if the percentage is a little low (68%), Sinner only lost one point on his first and two on his second. On the return, he converted the only two break points he obtained. Also in the game, the Russian was hampered with a negative winning points/unforced errors ratio, 4 winning points for 5 unforced errors.
