Rolex Shanghai Masters 2018: Novak Djokovic Takes On Alexander Zverev In Semi-final

Novak Djokovic is now a match away from claiming his fourth title in Shanghai having knocked out South African player Kevin Anderson in straight sets.

The three-time was put to the test at the opener by his opponent and survived the scare after a tie-break, and progressed for a cruise through the second set to win the match in two sets by 7-6(1), 6-3. 

Kevin has now lost back-to-back to the world no. 3 who stopped him from winning Wimbledon in the final back in July, and went on to win golden Masters in Western and Southern [Cincinnati] Open. 

He will face in the semi-finals world no. 5 Alexander Zverev who defeated British no. 1 in straight sets.
