Dizano Sport – Juan Martin del Potro caused a major suprise in Shanghai by upsetting new World No 1 Rafael Nadal to reach the final.
An inspired Juan Martin del Potro beat world number one Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-4 to reach the Shanghai Masters final.
Nadal had not lost his serve in the tournament but was broken in his first service game as Del Potro moved 4-0 up.
The Argentine, 25, displayed majestic power and Nadal was unable to gain a single break as a high-class contest ended in an hour and 46 minutes.
Del Potro will play defending champion Novak Djokovic, who beat seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2 7-5.
It was only the second time during an incredibly consistent season that Nadal – the French and US Open champion – has failed to reach the final of a tournament he has entered. The only other occasion was his shock first-round exit from Wimbledon.
Djokovic, 26, twice broke to love in the first set against Tsonga and won it in 34 minutes.
The Frenchman was seeking to pass Roger Federer in the quest for an automatic spot in next month’s World Tour finals but was beaten in one hour 33 minutes.
