Yannick Sinner

The Italian spent a difficult season, the most unpleasant part was connected with the disqualification. Although Sinner played well, he managed to reach all four major finals, winning two of them, namely the Australian Open and Wimbledon. It is also worth noting that the Italian managed to win the title in Beijing.

Sinner lost his status as world No. 1 when he lost in the US Open final. The athlete won the first ever Six Kings Slam, which took place last year, when he defeated Alcaraz in the final. The Italian started this tournament in the quarterfinals, where he won in two sets against Tsitsipas – 6:2, 6:3.

Novak Djokovic

The Serbian is expected by many to be retired, but he is still trying to win his 25th career Slam, having reached the semifinals of GS tournaments four times this year. Nole can still show high-level tennis, but physically it is not always enough, especially in long matches at majors.

The last time Novak played in Shanghai, he reached the semifinals there, where he sensationally lost to the future winner Valentin Vaschero – 3:6, 4:6. Here, Djokovic has the privilege of starting immediately from the semifinals, because the conditions are dictated by the tournament organizers.

Personal meetings

In face-to-face confrontations, Sinner leads with a score of 6:4, although it is worth noting the fact that the Italian has won the last five matches. The rivals played twice this year, in the semifinals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, in both cases Yannyk won 3:0.

Forecast

The Italian is a big favorite for the upcoming meeting, he is younger, has an advantage in head-to-head confrontations, and is having a better season this season. Djokovic is still a danger, although it will be incredibly difficult to withstand an intense match against a young opponent.

Of course, the game is an exhibition, but the mood is real, because the players are seriously motivated financially, I think you can bet on the success of the Italian in two sets.
