  • The German had injured his big toe toward the end of his last match in Shanghai but on Monday seemed to show no sign of discomfort as he broke Rinderknech in the third game with a forehand

SHANGHAI: World No. 3 Alexander Zverev was knocked out of the Shanghai Masters by Frances Arthur Rinderknech 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 on Monday, leaving Novak Djokovic as the tournaments top-ranked player.

In stifling conditions, the 54th-ranked Frenchman came back from a set down to stun an increasingly rattled Zverev into submission.

The German had injured his big toe toward the end of his last match in Shanghai but on Monday seemed to show no sign of discomfort as he broke Rinderknech in the third game with a forehand.

He nearly went ahead early in the second set, but Rinderknech recovered his cool, piling on the pressure in the fourth game to eventually break.

Im not very sure (how I managed to turn the game around), he said.

I fought like hell, tried everything. (Zverev) is such a good player ... I knew it was going to be a battle.

Starting in the second set ... I was able to be offensive at the right moment, in a smarter way, he said.

Keeping up the momentum, in the third set the 30-year-old broke in the third game.

Zverev had to pause to change his shoes because sweat was pouring out of them, as spectators wafted fans and wore cool packs on their foreheads to counter the suffocating humidity.

But switching footwear was not enough to save the German, and a double fault in the seventh game led to Rinderknech breaking again.

Holding with an ace to win, the Frenchman lolled his body in delighted disbelief, then danced around the court in glee.

Zverevs exit means world No. 5 Djokovic, who is aiming for a record-extending fifth title in the Chinese financial hub, now leads rankings-wise as the tournament heads into the last 16.

On Sunday the competition lost both defending champion Jannik Sinner, who was forced to retire with extreme leg cramps, and 4th-ranked Taylor Fritz.

World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz withdrew at the last minute to rest.

Alex de Minaur is the next highest seed after Djokovic was through to the fourth round, comfortably getting past Polands Kamil Majchrzak 6-1, 7-5.

I came into this week knowing how tough the conditions were going to be, the world number seven said.

So the mindset ultimately is surviving, finding ways, and getting ready for battles every time you step out on the court.

The Australian will next meet Portugals Nuno Borges, who put an end to the hopes of home favorite Shang Juncheng 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 6-3.

  • Amin top-scored with 81 runs, but her half century was not enough to save Pakistan from an 88-run defeat
  • It was Pakistans second successive loss in the tournament after it lost the opening game against Bangladesh

COLOMBO: Pakistan batter Sidra Amin has been reprimanded for breaching the ICC's code of conduct during a Womens Cricket World Cup match against archrival India on Sunday.

Amin top-scored with 81 runs, but her half century was not enough to save Pakistan from an 88-run defeat. It was Pakistans second successive loss in the tournament after it lost the opening game against Bangladesh by seven wickets.

The ICC said in a statement on Monday that Amin breached its article 2.2 related to abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match.

Amin hit her bat forcefully onto the pitch after she was dismissed in the 40th over. She admitted her offense and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Shandre Fritz.

It was Amins first offense in two years and she was given one demerit point for a Level 1 breach.

Pakistan next takes on defending champion Australia in Colombo on Wednesday.

  • Hwang birdied the final four holes and five of the last six at breezy Hoakalei Country Club for a 5-under 67 and a one-shot victory over Hyo Joo Kim
  • Hwang: This is my dream, Hwang said through an interpreter. Finally, I achieved my dream here at the LOTTE Championship

HONOLULU: Youmin Hwang won the LOTTE Championship on Saturday for her first victory in an LPGA Tour event, making a big late charge to run the season-opening streak without a repeat winner to 25 tournaments.

A Korean LPGA member in the field on a sponsor invite, Hwang birdied the final four holes and five of the last six at breezy Hoakalei Country Club for a 5-under 67 and a one-shot victory over Hyo Joo Kim.

This is my dream, Hwang said through an interpreter. Finally, I achieved my dream here at the LOTTE Championship, and I also very much look forward to my future as well in the LPGA.

As a nonmember of the LPGA Tour, the 22-year-old Hwang has the option to accept immediate membership or defer to next season. The two-time KLPGA winner won in her sixth career LPGA start and fourth of the season after making the weekend cuts in the major US Womens Open, KPMG Womens PGA and Evian Championship.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for LOTTE for inviting me, Hwang said. I think its all the more meaningful that I can play and also win the tournament sponsored by LOTTE, my sponsor as well.

Tied for the lead with Kim and Minami Katsu after her birdie on the par-4 17th, Hwang got a break when Katsu and Kim each bogeyed the hole in the group behind. On the par-5 18th, Hwang hit her second shot through the green into rough and chipped to a foot.

Hwang finished at 17-under 271. She shot a career-best 62 on Thursday to open a three-stroke lead, then had a 75 on Friday to drop into a tie for second a shot behind Akie Iwai.

Kim birdied the 18th for a 68.

Katsu was third at 15 under after a 69.

Second-ranked Nelly Korda closed with a 69 for finish three back at 17 under with Peiyun Chien (70), Jessica Porvasnik (70) and Iwai (71). Coming off a seven-victory season, Korda hasnt won this year.

Overall, Im putting myself into contention. Korda said. Its definitely an interesting year for me result-wise, but at the end of the day Im giving it 100 percent, controlling what I can control and Im happy with that.

The LPGA Tour now heads to Asia for tournaments five straight weeks in Shanghai, South Korea, Malaysia and Japan.
