Carlos Alcaraz is already back in Spain after conquering the ATP Tokyo and announcing his withdrawal from the ATP Shanghai.

The French, pure entertainment on the court, reveals to what extent facing Jannik has left a mark on him, showing us an ambitious personality like no other.
Novak Djokovic arrives at the ATP Shanghai 2025 eager for victories, confidence, and a strong end to the season that can propel him to compete for the Australian Open in 2026. The Serbian will kick off tomorrow against Marin Cilic, but he has already spent several days on the training courts, and his level seems optimal, as evidenced by an incredible point captured by the tournament's organization against Holger Rune. It seems that a great tournament awaits us in the lower half of the draw.

Reilly Opelka succumbed in his debut at ATP Shanghai 2025 after a poor match against the Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi. The American arrives somewhat mentally burnt out at the end of the season, incapable of stringing together wins on surfaces that, in theory, should suit him perfectly... although perhaps the Chinese tournament is not the case. Reilly complained during the match about a bad bounce on the line to the referee, something that shouldn't happen on a hard court; the referee told him that, beyond pointing it out, he couldn't do anything about it, which led Opelka to express himself very clearly. "Don't act like what I'm telling you doesn't make sense. They have to do something. This is something you can expect in a Futures, but not in a Masters 1000, having a crack in the court is typical of Futures", commented a frustrated Reilly who ended up conceding the match amidst complaints and gestures.

Novak Djokovic is on the verge of qualifying for the 2025 ATP Finals, but the big question remains whether he will decide to compete in the event that gathers the best players of the year or will opt out. When asked about it at the 2025 ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai, the Balkan player gave some clues. "I no longer make long-term plans. After Shanghai, the only thing I'm certain of is that I will play in Athens. Then, I'll see if I go to Turin. I'm not sure yet, but I hope to compete there again, we'll see," he commented.

The Serbian analyzes his season, explains why he keeps playing, and weighs in on the widespread debate about the toughness of the schedule.
Humidity, high temperatures, and a significant physical and mental strain. All of this has become an explosive cocktail for Terence Atmane, who had to retire from the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025 when the score was tied at 4-4 in his first-round match against Carabelli. The French player later posted on social media, recounting his ordeal. "From the first point, my hands were shaking, and I was more stressed than usual. But in the second game, I started to feel very suffocated. I couldn't breathe, my head was hurting, I couldn't speak, and I didn't even know what day it was. I panicked. I'm still confused about what happened to me," said the Frenchman, attributing all this to severe heat exhaustion.
