Alexander Zverev Defeats Novak Djokovic to Win Shanghai Masters

Alexander Zverev defeated Novak Djokovic in the final of the Shanghai Masters on Sunday, winning 6-2, 6-1. The victory gives Zverev his fourth Masters 1000 title and ends Djokovic's 15-match winning streak.

Zverev was in dominant form throughout the match, breaking Djokovic's serve five times and never facing a break point himself. He hit 27 winners to Djokovic's 10 and won 77% of his first-serve points.

The win is a major boost for Zverev, who is now up to No. 3 in the world rankings. It is also a sign that he is one of the favorites to win the upcoming ATP Finals.

Djokovic's Winning Streak Ends

Djokovic's 15-match winning streak came to an end in the Shanghai final. The streak began after he won the US Open in September and included victories over Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Kei Nishikori.

Despite the loss, Djokovic remains the world No. 1 and is still the favorite to win the ATP Finals. He will be looking to bounce back from this defeat and finish the season on a high note.

What's Next for Zverev and Djokovic?

Zverev will now turn his attention to the ATP Finals, which will be held in London from November 10-17. He is one of the eight players who have qualified for the season-ending tournament.

Djokovic will also be competing in the ATP Finals. He is the defending champion and will be looking to win the title for a sixth time.
