Zverev wins in straight sets against de Minaur for Shanghai Masters semifinal spot
German tennis star Alexander Zverev advanced to the Shanghai Masters semi-finals on Thursday, defeating Australian Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-4. Zverev, the top seed who has already claimed the year-end number one ranking, expressed feeling outmatched by De Minaur, who is known for his speed and baseline play. The French Open and US Open champion will face Spain's Davidovich Fokina in the next round.
If Zverev wins the Shanghai Masters and reaches the semi-finals at the Vienna tournament, he could become the new world number one, surpassing Jannik Sinner, who currently holds second place.
