Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction
Alexander Zverev produced his best display of the tournament so far as he defeated Alex de Minaur in straight sets to advance to the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters. Zverev, who has secured the year-end World No. 1 ranking and will officially take over the top spot in the upcoming weeks, saved all five break point opportunities on serve to win 6-4 6-4. He is seeking a first title at the event, having finished as runner-up in 2019.
He faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina next. The Spaniard advanced after Arthur Gea’s retirement in the first set of their quarter-final match while Davidovich Fokina was leading 4-1. The 27-year-old won the Chengdu Open at the end of last month, and he has now won eight of his nine matches since returning to the tour from injury.
Zverev leads the head-to-head 6-1. The top seed will be difficult to stop if he puts in another strong serving performance.
