Sinner defeats Djokovic: Triumph as the youngest Shanghai champion!

Sinner defeats Djokovic: Triumph as the youngest Shanghai champion!



Jannik Sinner shocked the tennis world with a resounding victory over Novak Djokovic in the final of the Shanghai tournament! The 23-year-old Italian superstar won 7:6 (7:4), 6:3 against the Serbian record Grand Slam winner and celebrated his third title this year at a Masters 1000 tournament. Sinner makes history by being crowned the youngest champion of the Shanghai tournament and ended the year as the No. 1 player in the tennis world!

But the joy could be overshadowed by worries: Despite an acquittal after two positive doping tests, Sinner still faces a ban. WADA has lodged an appeal with the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne. However, the final was another blow for Djokovic: the 37-year-old missed his 100th title and again struggled with the after-effects of his knee surgery. However, he showed no signs of hesitation during the party, but Sinner proved to be the more determined player, captivating the crowd, including tennis legends such as Roger Federer. Further details about this exciting duel can be found in the article on www.hz.de.
