Triumph in Shanghai
Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic from 10.30 a.m. LIVE
Jannik Sinner has won the final of the Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai, which is endowed with 10.298 million dollars. The top seed from South Tyrol decided the generational duel with Olympic champion Novak Djokovic in his favor on Sunday, preventing the Serb from winning his 100th title.
In the end it was 7:6(4) and 6:3 from Sinner's point of view. It is his third Masters 1000 title in 2024 after Miami and Cincinnati and his seventh tournament win this year, in which he also won the Australian and US Open, and 17th overall.
"It was a tough match against Djokovic, one of the toughest challenges there is. He is a legend of our sport," said Sinner. "He served very well in the first set. Then I played a very good tie-break, which gave me confidence," said a delighted Sinner. By reaching the final, the South Tyrolean had already secured the number 1 position at the end of the year, a position he has further cemented.
Suspension looms
Behind all his sporting successes, however, there is still a question mark over his immediate future. After an acquittal despite two positive doping tests, he is threatened with a ban because the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recently lodged an appeal with the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne.
Prominent spectators
For Djokovic, who improved to sixth place in the race to Turin, the Olympic victory remains his only title this year, albeit a very valuable one. Sinner - incidentally in front of Roger Federer and Carlos Alcaraz, who was sitting at his side - drew 4:4 in the head-to-head with the "Djoker".
