Novak Djokovic didn’t always have a good laugh against Jakub Mensik

Here you can read the match in the live ticker.

Novak Djokovic is still two match wins short of his 100th tournament win. However, in order to reach the semi-finals at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai, Djokovic had to stretch hard against Jakub Mensik. Because the Czech teenager took advantage of Djokovic’s weak phase in the first set and turned a 0-3 deficit in the tiebreak. In the end, it was the Paris 2024 Olympic champion’s routine that ended in 6:7 (4), 6:1 and 6:4 for Djokovic.

In the semi-finals tomorrow, Novak Djokovic will face Taylor Fritz. And that is always good news for the Serbian grandmaster. Djokovic has won all nine of his previous matches against Fritz.

Sinners tomorrow against Machac

The 19-year-old Mensik can be very happy with his trip to Shanghai despite the defeat against his idol Djokovic. In the live ranking, Mensik has already improved by 14 places and is in 51st place.

The semi-finals in the upper half will be contested by tournament favorite Jannik Sinner and Tomas Machac, Jakub Mensik’s slightly older compatriot, who surprisingly won against Carlos Alcaraz yesterday. Sinner held his own against Daniil Medvedev, who had a shoulder injury, 6:1 and 6:4.
