Novak Djokovic bids for his 100th title in a blockbuster Shanghai Masters final against World No 1 Jannik Sinner.
Djokovic is looking to become just the third man to reach a century of titles in the Open era, behind Jimmy Connors’ 109 and Roger Federer’s 103. The 37-year-old defeated Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals on Saturday and his only title so far this season has been his long-awaited Olympics gold medal in Paris.
Sinner, 23, has beaten Djokovic in their last two meetings, in last year’s Davis Cup final and in the semi-finals of the Australian Open at the start of the season, the tournament that led to his grand slam breakthrough. The Italian has won six tournaments this season already, including the Australian Open and US Open, and has sealed the year-end No 1 spot.
It promises to be an epic final, with tennis history on the line. Follow score updates from the Shanghai Masters in our live blog, below.
