Sinner withdraws from Shanghai Masters as knee injury lingers

Sinner withdraws from Shanghai Masters as knee injury lingers

World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from next week's Shanghai Masters as ‌he continues his recovery from a knee injury that has sidelined him since winning the Wimbledon title in July. The Italian, 25, has not played since his triumph at the All ⁠England Club, missing the North American hardcourt swing, including the US Open, and the ongoing ATP 500 event in Beijing. "Unfortunately, I won't ‌be able to play at the Rolex Shanghai Masters this year as I had hoped," ‌Sinner wrote on Instagram on Saturday. "I always ‌enjoy playing in front of the Shanghai ‌fans and I'm ‌very sorry that I won't be able to do so next week." The Masters ‌1000 event runs from October 7-18 ⁠and features a strong field led by four-times champion Novak Djokovic, along with Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, ⁠Daniil Medvedev, ⁠Ben Shelton, Felix Auger-Aliassime and defending champion Valentin Vacherot. Sinner won the Shanghai title in 2024, defeating ⁠Djokovic in the final. Sinner's absence could boost Zverev's push to finish the season as world number one. The German, French Open and US Open champion this year, has emerged ‌as the Italian's closest challenger. Zverev can move to the top of the rankings for the first time if he wins both the China Open in Beijing and the Shanghai Masters.

Laver Cup back in the balance as Team World match their captain Andre Agassi’s energy

Laver Cup back in the balance as Team World match their captain Andre Agassi’s energy

Alex de Minaur recovers from match point down to beat Alexander Zverev Carlos Alcaraz launches comeback of his own to leave event level at 5-5 For much of his afternoon on court against Alexander Zverev, Alex de Minaur seemed destined to end his day with an excruciating defeat. De Minaur had rapidly found himself down a set and a break, then Zverev served for the match at 6-2, 5-4. After miraculously giving himself another lifeline, De Minaur finally faced a match point at 8-9 in the final set tie-break. No matter how grim the scoreline appeared, though, every effort he made was punctuated by roars of approval from one person in particular. There were loud screams of encouragement, pounding of chairs and stamping of feet. At one point, as doubt had crept into Zverev’s game during the second set tie-break, that unmistakable voice from the sidelines yelled out: “Check his oil! Check his oil!” Continue reading...

Alcaraz tops the bill as the Laver Cup returns to London still aiming to prove its worth

Alcaraz tops the bill as the Laver Cup returns to London still aiming to prove its worth

The Ryder Cup-style event has struggled financially since its legendary founder, Roger Federer, retired but still offers a spectacle unlike any other in tennis The sight of a tennis player marching to the bathroom between sets has become increasingly common in modern tennis but Alexander Zverev’s journey back to the locker room in Prague nine years ago remains particularly remarkable. On this occasion, Zverev happened to be sandwiched between two of the greatest male players of all time. Neither legend was happy. To his right, an incensed Roger Federer spent their walk back to the locker room brutally laying down the law: “I want a fistpump or a ‘Let’s go!’ every fucking point you win,” he said. “And every point you lose, you fucking take it like a man. Because the problem is, when you don’t have the [result] you want, it’s like: ‘Ah, I knew it. Fuck, shit.’ I don’t want … honestly!” Continue reading...

Alexander Zverev claims first US Open after four-set battle with Ben Shelton

Alexander Zverev claims first US Open after four-set battle with Ben Shelton

No 1 seed wins 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 American’s hopes dashed in tense final For a passing moment at the end of a rugged third set, hope sprung anew for Ben Shelton. He had been outserved and outplayed for nearly three hours, but at 6-5 in the third set, one game from defeat, the American finally broke through. He burst into the return game finally pounding his forehand freely and he willed himself into an unexpected fourth set. After he had finished pumping his fist, cupping his ear to the crowd and admirably trying to initiate a drastic momentum shift, the next sequence was most revealing. Shelton opened the fourth set with a shaky game, immediately losing his serve at the start of the set. He worked hard until the end, but he was beaten by Zverev, the top seed, who closed out a 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 victory to lift his second grand slam title of the year. Continue reading...

Ben Shelton faces date with destiny against Zverev in US Open final

Ben Shelton faces date with destiny against Zverev in US Open final

Shelton will become the first Black American man to win the singles title at Flushing Meadow since Arthur Ashe if he can beat Zverez for the first time As Ben Shelton lapped up the explosion of joy and adoration from a full Arthur Ashe Stadium after reaching a grand slam final for the first time, one of his first thoughts was of his paternal grandmother, Regina Ann Shelton, who died this year. Shelton credited his grandmother with ensuring that his father, Bryan Shelton, made it as a top professional, becoming one of a small group of Black men on the tour. “My dad lost his mom earlier this year and she’s the reason he was able to play tennis,” he said. “Without her, there’s no Ben Shelton standing here today. So this one is for her.” Just a couple of generations on, Shelton now stands on the verge of history. On Sunday, he will attempt to become the first Black American man to win the US Open singles title since Arthur Ashe in 1968, a feat he will attempt inside the stadium named after Ashe. Shelton would also be the first black man to win any grand slam singles title since Yannick Noah at Roland Garros in 1983, and the third overall. He is also aiming to become the first American man to win a major singles title since Andy Roddick won the US Open in 2003. Continue reading...
