Russian Daniil Medvedev beat Alexander Zverev 6-4 6-1 to lift his fourth title of the season at the Shanghai Masters.
Germany’s Zverev started the match with a 4-0 head-to-head record in his favour, but U.S. Open runner-up Medvedev, playing in his sixth straight final, broke Zverev twice to close out the opening set in front of a packed crowd.
The 23-year-old was at his ruthless best in the second set as he raced to a 5-0 lead before Zverev finally showed some resistance to hold serve.
