Shanghai Masters 2024: Djokovic, Sinner, Alcaraz Advance to Quarterfinals

The Shanghai Masters 2024 is in full flow featuring some of the best players on the tour. Here is a brief review of the important matches:

Djokovic vs. Safiullin

There was no stopping Novak Djokovic against Roman Safiullin. Djokovic, who has not won a grand slam this year, delivered a masterclass in precision and control, defeating Safiullin in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-1. This victory advanced Djokovic to the quarter-finals.

A happy Djokovic rated his performance very highly. He said: "Very close to 10. The [past two matches] are some of the best I've played in a while."

Sinner vs. Shelton

Jannik Sinner had a point to prove against Ben Shelton and he did, beating him 6-4, 7-6 (7/1). Sinner, the world number one, had lost to Shelton last year at the same event but this time emerged victorious with a straight-set win, setting up a quarter-final match against Daniil Medvedev.

Speaking of the match against Medvedev, Sinner said: "We know each other quite well now, we know exactly what to expect, more or less."

Alcaraz vs. Monfils

Carlos Alcaraz faced Gael Monfils in a battle of the young generation versus the old guard. Alcaraz managed to secure a hard-fought victory with a score of 6-4, 7-5, keeping his winning streak of 12 matches alive. This win marks Alcaraz as the first Spaniard to reach the Shanghai Masters quarter-final since Rafael Nadal in 2017. Monfils, at 38 years old, put up a strong fight but couldn't hold on to his lead in the crucial moments.

Alcaraz said after the match: “The main thing I tried in this match was to stay calm, to control my emotions and wait for my chances.”

Goffin vs. Zverev

Belgian David Goffin pulled off a major upset by defeating Alexander Zverev, the second seed, with a score of 6-4, 7-5 to reach the last eight of the Shanghai Masters 2024. Goffin, ranked No. 66, will face American Taylor Fritz, the No. 7 seed, in the next round.
