Alejandro Davidovich Fokina fought back to beat top seed Alexander Zverev in three sets and reach the Shanghai Masters final on Saturday. The Spaniard won 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, ending Zverev’s bid for a place in the title match [1].
Zverev took the first set with a late break, but Davidovich Fokina levelled in the second after breaking the German’s serve in the final game. An early break in the decider put the Spaniard ahead; he went on to convert his third match point, according to the tournament’s report [1].
Davidovich Fokina will face either fellow Spaniard Rafael Jódar or Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in Sunday’s final. The tournament report also said Zverev had secured the year-end world No. 1 honour in Shanghai [1].
