A former champion drops out at the last minute in the Shanghai Masters

Hubert Hurkacz, winner of the Shanghai Masters 1000 in 2023, announced that he is still dealing with discomfort from his back injury and will also not participate in the penultimate Masters of the season. Ranked 69th in the ATP rankings, the Polish player has barely competed in tournaments this 2025 and has not played since ATP 's-Hertogenbosch in June.

Former world number 6 just a year ago, Hurkacz will have to work hard in 2026 to return to the rankings where his tennis deserves to be.

Shanghai update:
OUT: Hurkacz
IN: Quinn
Next: Walton
