Like a transfer of power that is confirmed. In what was undoubtedly the ideal final in Shanghai, the current world number 1 Jannik Sinner imposed his law on the former boss of the circuit and living legend of the circuit Novak Djokovic. Sunday, the Italian showed exceptional composure and great authority to win in two sets (7-6, 6-3) and 1h37 of play to claim his 7th title of the season, the 4th in Masters 1000 and the 17th of his career. For the Serbian, he will still have to wait before reaching the mark of 100 career trophies.
It was the track for the stars this Sunday, on the court and in the stands. Under the eyes of Roger Federer, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Carlos Alcaraz, luxury spectators visibly inexhaustible in front of the tennis offered to them, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic crossed swords for the first time since the semi-final of the Open of Australia won by the Italian at the start of the year. And the latter confirmed that he had taken a slight advantage over his Serbian rival, dominating him for the third time in a row in a high-level duel, especially in its first part.
