RINDERKNECH CELEBRATING STORY: Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech produced a commanding performance to upset Canadian 12th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the Shanghai Masters on Friday (October 10), joining his cousin Valentin Vacherot in the semi final lineup. Rinderknech's win came a day after Vacherot, ranked 204th in the world, shocked Danish 10th seed Holger Rune to become the second-lowest ranked player ever to reach an ATP Masters 1000 semi-final. Their fairytale run has set the stage for a potential family showdown, though four-times Shanghai champion Novak Djokovic, looms large in Vacherot's path. "First of all, I follow my cousin. He's going through the emotions, and I'm trying to battle to follow and do as good as him," Rinderknech said, as Vacherot cheered him from the stands. "It's been incredible since the beginning of the week, the whole family following from home. We are in our little world of our own… "It's been incredible, it's been unreal. It's been a good performance from myself — happy to get the win, two sets so I can be not too tired for tomorrow." The 30-year-old Rinderknech also made history as the oldest first-time ATP Masters 1000 semi-finalist since German Jan-Lennard Struff achieved the feat in Madrid in 2023. Ranked 37th, Rinderknech is set to break into the top 40 for the first time when the updated ATP rankings are released on Monday. Rinderknech will next face either 2021 U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev or Australian seventh seed Alex de Minaur, who play in the quarters later on Friday. (Production: Bhagya Ayyavoo)

PEGULA WAVING TO CROWD STORY: Aryna Sabalenka extended her unbeaten run at the Wuhan Open to 20 matches with a 6-3 6-3 victory over Elena Rybakina on Friday (October 10), keeping alive her quest for a fourth straight title and setting up a semi-final clash with Jessica Pegula. In the 13th chapter of a rivalry that has played out on the biggest stages, including the 2023 Australian Open final, it was Sabalenka who struck first against Rybakina by breaking in the eighth game with a scorching forehand winner. Sabalenka, who won the Wuhan title in 2018-19 and again last year after the tournament returned following the COVID pandemic, clinched the opening set with a hold and broke Rybakina's serve in the first game of the second set to tighten her grip on the match. The world number closed out the victory despite a few service wobbles late on, improving her win-loss record against Rybakina to 8-5 and earning a measure of revenge for a defeat by the player from Kazakhstan in their last encounter this year in Cincinnati. Up next for the big-hitting Belarusian is American Pegula, who came from behind to beat Czech Katerina Siniakova 2-6 6-0 6-3 for her 50th match win of the season and boost her chances of qualifying for next month's season-ending WTA Finals. Sabalenka has won eight of her 10 meetings with Pegula, including in the U.S. Open final last year. German Laura Siegemund meets American third-seed Coco Gauff in another quarter-final later on Friday, before second seed Iga Swiatek of Poland meets Italian seventh seed Jasmine Paolini in a rematch of their 2024 French Open final.
