Nothing stops him: Sinner tames Shelton and earns his first semi-final in Paris
The Sinner steamroller continues on its path. The world No. 2 swept aside Ben Shelton (6-3, 6-3) to secure a first semi-final at the Paris Masters 1000. And what comes next promises to be explosive against Medvedev or Zverev.
Despite the fatigue and the relentless succession of matches, Jannik Sinner has reached the semi-finals of the Rolex Paris Masters for the first time in his career. The world No. 2, facing Ben Shelton for the third time this season, once again imposed his will.
By winning 6-3, 6-3 in just 1 hour and 8 minutes, the Italian demonstrated that his physical niggles do not hinder him on the court. He thus records a seventh consecutive victory against Shelton, who has not won a single set in their last four encounters.
In the semi-final tomorrow, Sinner will face a formidable opponent: either Daniil Medvedev, who is clearly in resurgent form, or Alexander Zverev, whom he narrowly defeated in Vienna last weekend.
