Carballés fires Fils, recent champion in Tokyo, in Shanghai

The hangover from success seems to have hit Arthur Fils hard, as the recent champion at the ATP Tokyo was eliminated in the second round of the Shanghai Masters 1000 just three days later. Roberto Carballés brought his hard-court tennis to a peak to defeat Fils with a score of 7-6(4) 7-6(5). The Spaniard needed two tie-breaks, but ultimately secured his third victory over a top 30 player to advance to the next round of the Asian tournament. Tough blow for Fils, but an impressive performance by Carballés who will now face Ben Shelton, after the American defeated Denis Shapovalov (6-3 7-5).
