Overview

  • Sinner arrives as the reigning Shanghai champion and becomes the highest seed after Alcaraz pulled out of the event.
  • His second‑round match against Daniel Altmaier is scheduled for Saturday, October 4, on the Stadium Court, with the start time to be announced after an extra rest day.
  • Fresh off the ATP 500 title in Beijing, Sinner says he has fully recovered from the physical issues he reported in the semifinal against Alex de Minaur.
  • He notes having only one practice session in Shanghai and highlights that the conditions are hotter and more humid than in Beijing.
