Daniil Medvedev Reaches Last 16 at Shanghai Masters

Daniil Medvedev advanced to the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters by defeating Matteo Arnaldi in a hard-fought match, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. Despite breaking Arnaldi's serve early, Medvedev struggled in the first set, where he faced code violations after arguing with the umpire. He recovered in the second and third sets, demonstrating resilience to clinch the match after 2 hours and 44 minutes. Medvedev expressed satisfaction with his performance, acknowledging the challenge posed by Arnaldi. He is now set to face either Stefanos Tsitsipas or Alexandre Muller in the next round, aiming for his first title of 2024. The match took place indoors due to rain, which disrupted play on outside courts for the second consecutive day.
