Medvedev beats longtime rival Tsitsipas and advances to Shanghai Masters quarterfinals
Daniil Medvedev has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in a match that marked another chapter in their heated rivalry. Medvedev, seeded fifth, secured a 6-4, 7-5 victory over his Greek opponent, becoming the fourth player to reach the last eight of the tournament in three consecutive years.
The only other players to achieve this feat are Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray. Their past encounters have been marked by verbal sparring, with notable clashes occurring in the 2022 Australian Open semifinals and previous meetings. Earlier in the tournament, Rafael Jodar also reached the quarterfinals after overcoming a set deficit in three consecutive matches.
Jodar faced Casper Ruud next, while Tommy Paul will face Zizou Bergs, who earlier eliminated Carlos Alcaraz.
