Emerging talents shine at Shanghai Masters: Marozsan, Shelton, and Korda advance to quarter-finals
Posted : 10 October 2023
In the Shanghai Masters, 24-year-old Hungarian Fabian Marozsan made a significant breakthrough, defeating Norway's Casper Ruud in a thrilling three-set match to reach the quarter-finals. Despite being the same age as Ruud, Marozsan has been proving himself as a formidable opponent in 2023.
Ruud, who was once ranked No. 2 in the world, struggled to keep up with Marozsan's performance this year. Marozsan has been on an impressive run, defeating top-ranked players like Carlos Alcaraz and Alex de Minaur earlier in the season.
In another match, Ben Shelton secured a hard-fought victory against Jannik Sinner, winning 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) to advance to the quarter-finals. Shelton has been making waves in the tennis world this year with notable performances at the US Open and Australian Open. Sinner, on the other hand, was looking to continue his winning streak after capturing the China Open title.
Both matches showcased the competitiveness and determination of the players, with Marozsan and Shelton emerging as strong contenders in the tournament. Marozsan expressed his gratitude for the support and acknowledged the challenging level of play at the Masters 1000 event. Meanwhile, Shelton's victory sets up a quarter-final clash with fellow American Sebastian Korda.
Korda, who reached his second Masters quarter-final, has been displaying promising form in recent tournaments, including reaching the final of the Astana Open. His performance against Francisco Cerundolo was a testament to his skill and determination, winning the match in a tie-break after a tough battle.
The Shanghai Masters continues to deliver thrilling matches, with Marozsan, Shelton, and Korda among the emerging talents to watch in the tournament.
