The ATP Shanghai 2025 could turn into a tournament marked by a fairy tale story. It seemed absolutely unimaginable, but we are just two matches away from the final in the Asian Masters 1000 being starred by two people with a family connection. Arthur Rinderknech emulated his cousin Valentin Vacherot this morning, putting a stop to ATP Finals aspirations of an apathetic Felix Auger-Aliassime, completely outmatched by the surprising performance on the Frenchman's return game (6-3, 6-4). With early breaks in each set, there was no contest: Arthur was vastly superior and already dreams of his first Masters 1000 final. He awaits de Minaur or Medvedev to achieve it and give more continuity to something that is already beyond a summer dream.
