Shanghai: Daniil Medvedev qualified for the final by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas – Tennis – ATP – Shanghai

In the first run, the two players fought a great battle, being assertive at each service game. Despite a first middle ball percentage (56%) and no break points, Medvedev (23) got the better of the Greek (21) at the end of a clinical tie-break, won with coolness (7-5).

Less efficient in service in the second set, Tsitsipas lost his serve at 1-1, on the first break opportunity of the Russian. Monstrous of regularity, Medvedev, Fabio Fognini's defender in the previous round (6-3, 7-6), took his opponent by the throat, as on this impressive passing reverse at 3-1.

But when serving for the match, the Russian man's right arm shook. Enterprising, Tsitsipas was rewarded for his audacity to break up … before losing his service again in the wake. At the end of a last game applied, Medvedev won and finished in a Masters 1000 final for the third time in his career (after Cincinnati and Montreal this season). He will be opposed to the winner of the other semifinal between Alexander Zverev (No. 6) and Matteo Berrettini (No. 13) to be disputed at 14:00 (French time).
