A look ahead to the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters
This year's Shanghai Masters could serve up an all-Spanish final between Rafael Jodar and Alejandro Davidovich. Standing in their way in Saturday's semi-finals, however, are favourites Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev, with the future world number one and the former rankings leader widely expected to lock horns for the title.
Alexander Zverev's quarter-final day in Shanghai was close to perfect, for more than one reason.
After three underwhelming performances in the earlier rounds, two of which went the distance, he dominated Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-4, peaking at the right time as champions tend to do.
The result also brought a much-needed top-10 win. Despite an otherwise successful season, he has struggled against fellow top players this year, drawing criticism he will be keen to silence, and the victory over De Minaur was only his third top-10 win in 11 attempts.
