Shiner: Win with an upset and advance to the quarterfinals

The Italian No.1 in the world, despite WADA’s appeal to CAS for the doping case, continued the good course in the Chinese tournament and with a second consecutive upset took the victory against Roman Safiulin with 3-6, 6-2, 6- 3 to qualify for the quarterfinals of the event.

Shiner did not start the match well, a fact that the Russian took advantage of, as a result of which he took the lead. Of course, Shafiulin didn’t keep up the same momentum, which gave Shiner the upper hand to pull off the upset and take the win.

In the Beijing quarter-finals, Shiner will face Jiri Lehetska who earlier also upset Roberto Bautista Agut 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.
