▶ Balanced opponent record: 4 wins, 4 losses
Jannik Sinner (No. 1, Italy) won the singles event at the Men’s Professional Tennis (ATP) Tour Shanghai Masters (total prize money of $8,995,555).
Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic (4th place, Serbia) 2-0 (7-6 6-3) in the singles final on the last day of the tournament held in Shanghai, China on the 13th.
Sinner, who received $1.1 million (approximately 1.48 billion won) in prize money, has won three games in a row against Djokovic and is now balanced at 4 wins and 4 losses.
Sinner, who confirmed his status as world No. 1 at the end of this year with a semifinal victory the day before, won his seventh singles title in this year’s tour or higher level tournament.
If Djokovic had won that day, he could have set a record of 100 ATP Tour singles wins, but he has decided to wait for the next time.
At least 100 ATP Tour singles wins are a record achieved only by retired Jimmy Connors (109, USA) and Roger Federer (103, Switzerland).
