Tomas Machac Jannik Sinner Shanghai Masters Semifinal

Tomas Machac, the world number 33, is set to face Jannik Sinner in the semifinal of the Shanghai Rolex Masters on Saturday, October 12, 2024. This will be the second encounter between the two players, with Sinner leading their head-to-head record 1-0 after a 6-4, 6-2 victory in the quarterfinals of the Miami tournament in March 2024.

Machac has had a notable run in the Shanghai Masters, defeating several top players to reach the semifinals. His most recent victory was against Carlos Alcaraz, whom he beat in a closely contested match with scores of 7-6(5) and 7-5. During this match, Machac was highly aggressive, hitting 39 winners and serving 5 aces while committing only 2 double faults. He also broke Alcaraz twice after converting 50% of his break points.

In the tournament so far, Machac has conceded only two sets and has a win-loss record of 34-20 in 2024, with 22-10 on hard courts. This performance has highlighted his strong form, particularly on hard surfaces. Despite never having competed in the Shanghai Masters before, Machac’s current form suggests he could pose a significant challenge to Sinner.

The match between Sinner and Machac is anticipated to be competitive, with Sinner favored to win according to initial odds. However, Machac’s recent victories and aggressive playing style make him a formidable opponent. The match is scheduled to take place on the Stadium Court at 4:30 pm local time.
