In a stunning display of skill and determination, Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic at the Shanghai Masters on Sunday, clinching his seventh title of the year. Sinner won the match 7-6(4), 6-3, becoming the first player since Andy Murray in 2016 to secure more than six titles in one calendar year.

Sinner's victory was fueled by a strong tie-break performance in the first set and a commanding 4-1 lead in the second. He praised Djokovic as one of the toughest opponents, emphasizing the need to seize minimal opportunities against the Serbian legend. Sinner's stellar serving, with 81 percent of first serve points won, proved crucial.

The Italian, having already secured the ATP Year-End No. 1 ranking with a semi-final win, continued his dominance over top-five players on hard courts, recording an 8-2 tally. Despite Djokovic's valiant efforts and previous Shanghai success, it was Sinner's day as he added another accolade to his growing collection.
