SHANGHAI – The public and private sector of the massive Frenchman Giovanni Mpetosi disrupt fourth-placed Taylor Fritz 6-4, 7-5, and advanced to the fourth round of the Shanghai Masters on Sunday, with defender Giannik Sinner retired due to serious leg cramps.
After filming the opening set, Thinner, who won the China Open in Beijing on Wednesday, followed 6-7 (3), 7-5, 3-2 against Tarlong Leakspool when he abandoned the match in high humidity.
The sinner massaged his right thigh between the decision makers.
“This is definitely not the way you want to win,” Greekspool said. “It’s been a cruel week here in Shanghai. I thought I was a bit lucky to play without the sun in the evening, but in the middle of the third set it’s two hours and 36 minutes… sorry to him. I wish him a quick recovery.”
Mpetshi Perricard sent 12 aces to Fritz’s Nine, taking a break in each set, scoring the first tour victory over the Americans, setting up the final 16 meetings with the 10th Seed Holgar Rune.
Also on Sunday, Novak Djokovic was forced to work hard after bringing German qualifiers Yannick Hanfmann in the past.
Djokovic struggled to deal with Hanfman’s big serve and excellent play in the net. He will face Jaume Munar in the next round. Djokovic was sick during the second set and threw during the switch.
“It’s the same with all the players in the court, but it’s cruel,” Djokovic said of the conditions. “It’s even more cruel for people who play with the sun, over 80% of the humidity every day, especially in the heat during the day.”
Djokovic has bid for the record fifth title at the Shanghai Masters.
