Borna Coric reaches his first Master ATP1000 in Shanghai after trouncing a below-par Roger Federer.
The match
It was clear from the very beginning that something was wrong with Roger Federer. The Swiss Maestro started to serve extremely slow to be broken immediately in the first game. On the other side, Coric was vastly superior from the baseline and he was serving really well. The outcome was that the Croat didn’t concede a single break point for the entire match. Therefore, it was too much for Roger losing his serve in the very first game of both sets. The final score was 6-4 6-4 and the match ended after 73 minutes.
This is the second consecutive time that Coric beats Federer after he defeated him in the final in Halle.
The final vs. Djokovic
Borna will face Novak Djokovic in the final. The head to head is 2-0 for Djokovic that is the favorite to win the title.
TOO SOLID
