Shanghai Masters: Djokovic Survives Scare Against Mensik; Will Face Fritz In Semis
Rolex Shanghai Masters: Novak Djokovic became the third oldest semi-finalist in the history of the ATP Masters 1000 series (since 1990) as the 37-year-old survived a scare against Jakub Mensik, earning a 6-7(4), 6-1, 6-4 win to advance to the last four stage in Shanghai on Friday. Djokovic has reached this stage for the ninth time in his quest to win his 100th tour-level title.
After a sluggish start, Djokovic clicked into gear in a near-flawless second set during which he won 92 percent (11/12) of points behind his first serve. He then went on to put the game to bed in the next set.
“We went toe-to-toe until the last moment. I was fortunate to find great serves in the last game, a couple of aces, that helps. I didn’t serve that well at the end of the first set when I was serving for it. He managed to turn things around by playing a good tie-break,” said Djokovic in the post-game interview.
