Monday, October 12 Schedule at the ATP Shanghai 2026: Spanish Tennis Celebration
Memorable tennis day to be held this Monday, October 12, at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026, with 8 matches corresponding to the third round in the lower part of the draw. On Spain's National Day, its players will be the main protagonists as three of them seek a spot in the round of 16: Pablo Carreño, Rafael Jódar, and Carlos Alcaraz.
They won’t be the only points of interest for tennis fans as matches featuring other very important players will also be seen, such as the defending champion of the Chinese tournament, Valentin Vacherot, an exciting clash between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Taylor Fritz, and the matches of Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, and Arthur Fils, where they will try to assert their favoritism against Tien, Svricina, and Botic, respectively.
What time do the Spaniards play in Shanghai?
The day will open in the main stadium with the match between Carreño and Auger-Aliassime, while Jódar will compete again in GrandStand 2, once the duel between Ruud and Tien concludes. Meanwhile, Alcaraz will be the star of the evening session in the most important stadium, in his effort to prevail over Bergs, a consistently tough opponent.
There will be great attention to see if Tsitsipas can assert his authority by defeating Fritz, while Vacherot will earnestly seek to stay alive in the tournament he conquered last year and fulfill his dream of facing Alcaraz in the round of 16, if the Murcian meets expectations. Those who seem more likely to advance are Medvedev and Fils, although they would do well to not relax against Svricina and Van de Zandschulp, respectively, given the abundance of surprises in all tournaments on the calendar.
This is the order of play for the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026 for Monday, October 12
