El tenista austriaco Jurgen Melzer dio la gran sorpresa en los octavos de final del Masters 1.000 de Shanghai, penúltimo de la temporada, al eliminar al español y número uno del mundo, Rafa Nadal, en tres sets (6-1, 3-6, 6-3) en casi dos horas de partido. De esta forma, la ‘Armada’ sólo contará en los cuartos de final con Guillermo García-López, que derrotó al checo Tomas Berdych (7-6 y 6-3), mientras que David Ferrer tampoco pudo clasificarse y dio un paso atrás en sus aspiraciones para estar en la Copa de Maestros de Londres al caer eliminado ante el sueco Robin Soderling por 7-5 y 6-4.
Melzer hat zum 40er noch nicht genug

Novak will try to help the Austrians through Group C in the ATP Cup
Dennis Novak represented Austria as the country’s No. 2 singles player at last year’s inaugural ATP Cup, and the 27-year-old is set to do the same again next week in Melbourne.
Novak went 1-2 at the prestigious country-based tournament last year, with all three of his matches going to a deciding set. Since then, he cracked the Top 100 of the FedEx ATP Rankings for the first time. Now, Novak will try to help best friend and Austria’s No. 1 singles player, Dominic Thiem, make a splash at Melbourne Park.
