Draper, Paul, Dimitrov and Fils are all still out with injuries. Shelton makes his return following the shoulder injury mid match at the US Open.
Sinner defends 1000 points while Alcaraz defends 200.

 

[Vincent-C]

Tien for the win.

Should be a great tournament if Alcaraz and Sinner both play. Would be great to see another final between the two.

At some point that run of the two meeting in the finals of all the big tournaments must end. Could it be here? Alcaraz probably faces Tien in his first match. It's a quick turnaround for Learner from the tournament in China, particularly if he makes the final which is currently looking likely given that Medvedev doesn't seem to be able to walk, let alone run. He doesn't have a bye in the first round of Shanghai. Alcaraz probably gets Medvedev in R4 if the latter is able to play. Sinner gets Bublik in R4. But right now neither of them looks as though they are going to lose to anyone but each other.

Djokovic is in Sinner's half, so it will be interesting to see whether he can still interfere with the duopoly.

 

[marc45]

Novak keeps avoiding Carlos and Sinner in the quarters, even though that might be better for him to play them there

 

[Rattie]

Bublik can’t seem to avoid Sinner this year.

 

[ggoulart]

Alcaraz withdraws from Shanghai!

 

[Hitman]

Alcaraz withdraws from Shanghai!

Massive blow to the tournament.

Alcaraz withdraws from Shanghai!

He didn’t look exactly delighted when he won Tokyo this morning. Clearly the ankle needs a rest.

 

[Rattie]

Massive blow to the tournament.

[Mainad]

Massive blow to the tournament.

Maybe should have skipped Tokyo to be fresher for Shanghai?

It ended in Canada, which neither of them played.

Before Shanghai, their current "big" finals streak was just Cincy + the USO.

 

[CarlitosWay]

Edit: Removed video that I see posted elsewhere.

Get healthy Carlitos. Took Warrior to win in Tokyo.

 

[dking68]

Massive blow to the tournament.

Sinner will be fighting for that number 1.

 

[Alley]

Yup. More points to collect in Shanghai. It will have an impact on the fight for the #1 spot too.

 

[CarlitosWay]

You do understand this is about nothing else, but recovery from an injury? No one gives a damn about "points" until he is fully healthy.

 

[tx10is]

bummer hoping for another Sinner Carlito match

 

[Spielgame]

Allez Zizou, serving for the first set.

Dang, Korda with a blasting fh dtl return winner.

 

[Spielgame]

wow nice bh drop volley winner by Zizou

 

[Spielgame]

First set to Zizou 6-4

 

[Spielgame]

14 winners Zizou
7 winners Korda

 

[Spielgame]

Zizou is such a great volleyer.

 

[Spielgame]

Welp, coming back after cooking my dinner and it's 5 all in the second set? I thought Korda got a break earlier lol. Classic Korda.

 

[Spielgame]

Dunno, I think Korda is just not very athletic.

 

[Spielgame]

Zizou serving for the match at 6-4 6-5

 

[Spielgame]

awesome bh dtl winner from Zizou.

 

[Spielgame]

great get by Korda, slice forcing the error from Zizou

 

[Spielgame]

MP Zizou

 

[Spielgame]

Botched half volley fh from Zizou. Deuce.

 

[Spielgame]

Netted FH DTL from Korda.

GSM Zizou!

Beter luck next time Sebastian,

 

[Spielgame]

Reckless forehands from Zhang

 

[Spielgame]

Zhang doesn't have the feel for drop volleys

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Alcaraz withdraws from Shanghai!

 

[Spielgame]

Trotter is too erratic and inconsistent

Brooksby is powerful and very calculated

 

[Spielgame]

Comesana serving for the match

 

[Spielgame]

Good change up in pace by Blanchet

 

[Spielgame]

O la la said Blanchet after netting his bh passing shot

 

[Spielgame]

GSM Comesana, he smacked the ball out towards Japan.

I think players should get fined for smacking the ball after match point, because the ball could endanger somebody's life.

 

[Spielgame]

First time I see a Chinese umpire. Mr. Yongqiang Du.

 

[Spielgame]

O'Connell is great to watch.

 

[Spielgame]

Great attacking tennis by O'Connell!

 

[Jonas78]

Can Nole surprise here? Carlos out and Sinner isnt at his best.

 

[Spielgame]

LOL Dzumhur is having a verbal diarrhoea. Can't handle having a bad day at the office.

 

[Spielgame]

Can Nole surprise here? Carlos out and Sinner isnt at his best.

Not the first time he surprises people with what he can do.

 

[Jonas78]

Not the first time he surprises people with what he can do.

Thats true, but its almost 2 years sinse his last masters win.

 

[Spielgame]

Thats true, but its almost 2 years sinse his last masters win.

Fed won a Slam after not winning one for several years.

 

[Spielgame]

Convincing win by O'Connell over Dzumhur. O'Connell hit the ball harder and he's more proactive. Dzumhur hit less winners (17 winners to O'Connell's 30).

 

[Spielgame]

This kid Yi Zhou has the potential to be a top player. Wow, he's 6 foot 4, very tall for a Chinese guy.

 

[Spielgame]

Impressive game from Yi Zhou, holds to love. 3-2 in the third set vs Jong.

 

[Spielgame]

LOL Yi Zhou has a Labubu doll on his Wilson bag

 

[Spielgame]

Yi Zhou on the brink of moving to second round with only 1 more game to go. If he can break De Jong.
