Djokovic Beats Anderson To Reach Shanghai Masters Final

Serbia’s Novak Djokovic has beaten Alexander Zverev in straight sets to reach the final of the Shanghai Masters and replace Roger Federer as world number two.

The 14-time grand slam champion defeated his German opponent 6-2, 6-1 in an hour and will face Borna Coric of Croatia in Sunday’s final.
Coric beat roger Federer 6-4 6-4 to reach his first final at masters 1000 level.
Djokovic, 31, is on a 17-match winning streak, a run that includes titles at the US Open and Cincinnati Masters.
The Wimbledon champion last lost a match in the Rogers Cup third round on 10 August.

“Being number two after this tournament is also a great achievement, considering the first four, five months of the year and considering I had the [elbow] surgery,” said 14-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic.
“Where I was about four months ago and where I am today is quite an extreme opposite.
“I’m just cherishing that achievement and every moment spent on the court.”
