Rafael Jodar, 20, beat Casper Ruud 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to become the youngest semifinalist in Shanghai Masters history.
Rafael Jodar became the youngest semifinalist in Shanghai Masters history after beating Casper Ruud of Norway 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 on Friday. The 20-year-old Spaniard was a set down but rallied to win in 2 hours 20 minutes, breaking Ruud's serve five times in the second and third sets.
It was Jodar's fourth consecutive match at the ATP Masters 1000 event in which he mounted a comeback from losing the first set. After the victory, Jodar said: 'Casper, I think, played the important points in the first set better than me. I couldn't win the break points because of his serve, so I knew I wanted to come back again. It was very tough, so I had to give my best level today to win this match.'
Jodar will face either Daniil Medvedev or Tommy Paul in the semifinals.
