The Serbian beats the Czech in three sets and gives himself the challenge against the American against whom he has never lost
Novak Djokovic (number 4 in the world) is the last player to get through to the semifinals of the Shanghai Masters 1000. The Serbian beat the Czech Jakub Mensik (number 65 in the world) with a score of 6-7(4) , 6-3 , 6-4 after 2 hours and 18 minutes.
The first set ignites in the 9th game when, with the lucky help of the net after an exhausting defense, the Serbian wins the third break point and this time converts it to take a 5-4 lead but the Czech reacts immediately by regaining the break from disadvantage. The game goes to a tie-break where the Czech surprises the Serbian 7-4! Having lost the first set, Djokovic changes gear : he dominates the 2nd 6-1 in half an hour and then in the 5th game of the 3rd he breaks his opponent's serve and never turns around again. Nole will face Taylor Fritz (number 7 in the world) to play for access to the final, it will be the 10th direct clash between the two with the Serbian undefeated (9-0).
Djokovic without limits: comeback and beat Mensik, now Fritz in the semi-final in Shanghai
