| Stefanos Tsitsipas celebrates his win over winning Novak Djokovic |
Novak Djokovic’s hopes of finishing the year ranked world number one suffered a blow with a quarter-final defeat by Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Shanghai Masters.
The young Greek has struggled in recent months after his stellar start to the season but is back on top form now and was superb in a 3-6 7-5 6-3 victory, claiming a second career win over Djokovic.
The Serbian sits at the top of the rankings at the moment but trails Rafael Nadal in the yearly standings and, with the Spaniard absent, had hoped to make up significant ground.
Tsitsipas’ win also ensured he will make his debut at the ATP Finals in London next
