SHANGHAI, OCT 17: Rising star Rafael Jodar ousted Daniil Medvedev in straight sets on Saturday to reach the Shanghai Masters final, where he will play Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in an all-Spanish affair.

The 26th-ranked Davidovich Fokina fought back to stun wilting top seed Alexander Zverev 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.

In the second semi-final Jodar beat Medvedev, 6-3, 6-4 to deny the Russian former world number one a chance to return to the championship match he won in 2019.�"AFP
