Jannik Sinner, the first seed of the Shanghai Masters, will face fifth seed Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals. Sinner is confidently leading the ATP, having won six titles this year, including two Grand Slam tournaments. In Shanghai, he scored three victories, including meetings with Taro Daniel and Tomas Martin Etcheverry.
The rivalry between them has 13 matches, where Medvedev leads 7-6. However, in 2024, Skinner won three of the four meetings, all on hard courts.
Medvedev, fifth in the ATP, is in the quarterfinals on hard courts for the third time in a row. He overcame Thiago Cybot Wilde and Matteo Arnaldi, losing the last match to Carlos Alcaraz in Beijing. It is expected that more than 20.5 games will be played in this match.
