The final draw of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025 has taken a 180º turn after the confirmed absence of Carlos Alcaraz. The player from Murcia started as the top seed and main favorite, and his withdrawal, due to ankle discomfort from Tokyo, leaves the top part of the draw empty. In this case, given the Murcian's withdrawal before the final draw began and before the qualifying phase ended, his place has been taken by the highest-ranked non-seeded player, Corentin Moutet, who has hit the jackpot: he moves from a potential second-round match against Novak Djokovic to directly advance to that stage, taking Carlos's spot in the draw. An opportunity for names like Daniil Medvedev, Alejandro Davidovich, Alex de Miñaur, or Alexander Zverev in the top half.
