The Chinese player returned to the circuit on this Asian tour, although victories are still eluding him. After falling in Shanghai, we heard him analyze his situation and future plans.
ATP
After an untimely shoulder injury that ended his hopes at the US Open, the American returns in Shanghai with a great goal in mind: to reach and surprise at the ATP Finals.
It is becoming common on the ATP circuit to see the winner and runner-up sharing a flight to their next destinations, especially when there is little time between tournaments. The 2025 ATP Beijing tournament was generous enough to provide a chartered flight for Learner Tien and Jannik Sinner to fly, along with their teams, to Shanghai for the upcoming Masters 1000. Interestingly, the American will have to debut tomorrow at the tournament, with little time to adapt. This scenario is becoming more common in such situations, with the Chinese tournament providing the private jet rather than either player.
The China Open arranged a charter flight for Jannik Sinner, Learner Tien, and their teams to travel from Beijing to Shanghai after their final this afternoon.

I usually choose the bullet train instead of a flight. However, a charter flight is another story😄#2025ChinaOpen pic.twitter.com/IZbsNaxyi8

Being very positive about our players at the Alicante Ferrero Challenger 2025, at most we will have three Spaniards in the quarterfinals of the singles draw. At the moment, we have one, Dani Mérida, who defeated the Polish player Kashnikowski on Wednesday with a score of 6-4 and 6-3. The eighth seed will be the clear favorite in the lower half, so we must pay close attention to him in this second half of the week. On the upper half, tomorrow we will see Pablo Carreño and Martín Landaluce in action, the other two attractions of the event who will seek to join Mérida in that group of the tournament's top eight.

Stan Wawrinka arrived at the ATP Shanghai 2025 eager to prove that his tennis still retains drops of quality at the ATP level. The Swiss, who received an invitation from the organization, didn't have an easy prey to start his journey, facing the always tough Fabian Marozsan. The Hungarian, who had won two matches in an ATP Beijing where he could only be defeated by Jannik Sinner, showcased his resilience and better physical condition to respond in the third set (6-1, 4-6, 6-4); however, Stan delivered wonderful points and played on equal terms with a top-60 player... but he still hasn't won at the ATP level since July. That coveted victory will come soon, no doubt.
