Jannik Sinner has had a remarkable season in 2024, winning six titles and finishing runner-up in Beijing. The Italian has won two Grand Slams (combined highest) and two Masters 1000 titles (highest). One of his 2024 season’s standout points is his lopsided rivalry against former World No.1 Daniil Medvedev. In Shanghai, he once again ran supreme against the Russian, beating him convincingly 6-1 6-4 in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
Coming into this match<\/a>, Sinner had reached the quarterfinals of all tournaments he had participated this season (14). That stat is remarkable in itself, but he maintained his consistency by reaching the semifinals of Shanghai for the first time in his career. After losing his first six matches against Medvedev, he has now leveled the Head-to-Head against the 2019 Shanghai champion at 7-7. Sinner’s only loss within their last eight meetings came at this year’s Wimbledon<\/a> quarterfinals. Sinner has two Grand Slams wins against the Russian this year, in the Australian Open<\/a> finals and the US Open<\/a> quarterfinals, respectively.<\/p>\n In their 14th meeting, Sinner was devastating right from the off, facing just one break point and converting three break point chances on his opponent’s serve. Medvedev has had his fair share of complaints about the tennis scheduling and the quality of tennis balls, but he was second best in all aspects to the World No.1. Sinner is gunning for a third Masters 1000 title this year and a seventh ATP tour title overall. It will be his sixth ATP tour title this year on a hard court after earlier success in Miami and Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
