Overview

  • Shanghai Masters organisers announced Novak Djokovic will play Oct 1–12, his first tournament since losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open semifinals.
  • Djokovic, a four-time Shanghai winner making his 14th main-draw appearance, has not confirmed entries for the Paris Masters or the ATP Finals, with Athens currently his only other commitment.
  • Carlos Alcaraz, back to world No. 1 after defeating Jannik Sinner in the US Open final, is competing this week at the Japan Open in Tokyo.
  • Alcaraz said he expects Sinner to adjust from their New York final, noting he must be ready for changes in their next meeting.
  • Jannik Sinner said he is implementing many small changes and has added physiotherapist Alejandro Resnicoff, opening his Beijing campaign against Marin Cilic on Thursday as the top seed.
