Sinner beats Shelton to reach Paris semi-finals

With the victory over Ben Shelton at the Paris Masters, Jannik Sinner made a significant improvement in his position as the world’s number one.

The shock defeat of Carlos Alcaraz to Cameron Norrie in the second-round ensures that the Italian will win the ATP Masters 1, 000 competition in Paris.

With a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Shelton, Sinner’s seventh straight victory over the American, made it to the semi-finals of Paris.

The 24-year-old told Sky Sports, “I’m very happy. It was a “very, very difficult match.”

In the middle of the second set, Sinner dropped his serve before quickly regaining control to win over Shelton, 23 minutes.

“I’m not thinking about the ranking right now,” added the Wimbledon and Australian Open champion. It results from my playing.

Making the semis in Paris means a lot, he says. I never take these results for granted because it has been a very long season with some excellent, excellent results.

In the final four, Sinner will face Daniil Medvedev or Alexander Zverev.

After defeating sixth seed Alex de Minaur of Australia 6-7, 7, and 6 for the first time, Alexander Bublik will make it to the semi-finals of the Masters. This caused uproar for Kazakhstan’s number one.
