Félix Auger-Aliassime has been able to frustrate the hopes of Pablo Carreño in an ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026 where the Spaniard performed very well. The Canadian player imposed his favoritism, involved in the race for a spot in the ATP Finals, and he did it knowing how to endure. He will face Casper Ruud in the round of 16, who did the same against Learner Tien.

The Canadian had to resort to his best tennis to thwart the rebellious spirit shown by Carreño, who even managed to win a set. However, in the third set, Félix regained his usual strength with his forehand and that incisive tennis that characterizes him so much to ultimately win 6-3 4-6 6-1 and earn a place among the top 16 in the Chinese event.

There, he will face a tricky matchup against a Casper Ruud who seems to have recovered from the physical issues that prevented him from competing in the US Open and still has the desire to achieve something significant. It hasn't been the best season for the Norwegian, as the final in Rome saves him from being much worse in the rankings. He was able to defeat Tien 6-4 7-6 (3) in a very close match.

Honors, despite the defeat, to Pablo Carreño who is having a very good season, having been able to establish himself in the top-100 and being a protagonist in major tournaments, such as Roland Garros, where he reached the round of 16. For his part, Tien says goodbye with this defeat to any chance of fighting for a ticket to Turin and will seek to regroup for the indoor European tour.
