It’s semi-finals day at both the Shanghai Masters and the Wuhan Open. Over in Shanghai, it’s two former champions up against two cousins as four-time Shanghai winner Novak Djokovic<\/a> meets Valentin Vacherot, the qualifier raked down at No. 204 in the world. Vacherot’s cousin, Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech, is up against 2019 champ Daniil Medvedev<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s a strong lineup in Wuhan, as world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka <\/a>meets Jessica Pegula in a rematch of their thrilling US Open semi-final, while Coco Gauff<\/a> takes on Jasmine Paolini, who stunned Iga Swiatek<\/a> in Friday’s quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Both tournaments have been a survival of the fittest, with players retiring and needing medical help while competing through brutally hot and humid conditions. Britain’s Emma Raducanu<\/a> was forced to call it quits in her opening match at the Wuhan Open, and she has since confirmed that she visited the doctors to help her recover.<\/p>\n

And Magdalena Frech, who lost in the round of 16, has also taken issue with the conditions. In an impassionated statement, the world No. 53 said: “It’s no longer a tennis match, just a fight for survival.”<\/p>\n
