Shanghai Masters: Machac Stuns Alcaraz, Sets Up Semifinal Clash With Sinner
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Playing in only his third quarterfinal on the ATP Tour, Czech star Tomas Machac brought to an end Carlos Alcaraz’s 12-match winning streak for the season, stunning the year's French Open and Wimbledon winner on Thursday to reach the semifinals in the Shanghai Masters.
Machac, playing in his quarterfinal in the Shanghai Masters, produced some of his most blistering tennis to neutralise the threat of the World No. 2, prevailing 7-6(5), 7-5. In a match where both players produced high-quality tennis, the 23-year-old found another gear to record his second win over a Top-5 opponent (Djokovic, Geneva SF).
The Czech player led by a set in his first meeting with Alcaraz at the Davis Cup last month, but was forced to retire once the Spaniard had levelled the match. Machac made no mistake this time, however, striking 20 winners in a superb opening set before dismantling Alcaraz's serve in the third game of the second.
