Pablo Carreño continues to accumulate deserving victories and unexpected joys for many in this stage of his professional career. At 35 years old, the player from Gijón has rediscovered a great version of himself, signing a more than remarkable season and looking for results in the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026 that will allow him to settle among the top 70 players in the world.

Reaching the third round is something to take into account and alleviates the pressure of defending the title won last year this week in Villena. The Spaniard defeated Alejandro Tabilo in Shanghai, who has seen his good trend halted in recent months. The Chilean succumbed to the great tennis of Pablo Carreño, who ended up winning 4-6 7-6 (2) 6-4, continuing the victory he achieved in the first round against Navone.

With an impeccable attitude and truly incisive and accurate tennis, Carreño earns the right to continue dreaming in this ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026. He will face Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime in the third round, which will present a great opportunity to make a statement and achieve one of those victories that could change his path this year.

While it is true that the Canadian will be the favorite, he has struggled to defeat Ugo Carabelli and does not seem to be in the best form of the season. A Pablo Carreño with nothing to lose and much to gain will try to take advantage of that. He continues to enjoy himself and gives his all in every match, honoring this sport and adding glorious episodes to an impeccable professional career.
