Sportstar · sports

Alexander Zverev defeated Shang Juncheng 6-0, 6-3 in the China Open, advancing to a quarterfinal match against Novak Djokovic. Zverev, the world's second-ranked player, needed only 55 minutes to secure his victory, firing nine aces against the Chinese wildcard. This win comes as Zverev aims for the number-one ranking currently held by Jannik Sinner. Sinner has also withdrawn from the upcoming Shanghai Masters due to a knee injury sustained in July.
