It couldn't be. Pedro Martínez tried until the end, but he ended up surrendering at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025 against the push of the young Frenchman, Arthur Cazaux. In a match filled with ups and downs, it was the Frenchman who managed the crucial moments better and prevailed 6-3 3-6 7-5. The Spaniard has not been able to secure any victories since his epic win in the Davis Cup against Rune.

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.

Jannik Sinner keeps alive his aspirations to finish the year as the world number 1, especially after his title in Beijing and with Alcaraz not competing in Shanghai. The truth is that the Italian cannot add points to his ATP ranking, as he is defending the title, but if he were to win, he would be just 390 points behind Carlos. In the ATP Race, the best possible scenario for Sinner after the Chinese tournament would be to reach 1,590 points, with 3,000 points still up for grabs, corresponding to the 500 in Vienna, 1,000 in Paris, and 1,500 in the ATP Finals.

The German, who has not won a title since April, admitted to the press that he continues to suffer from back pains: "I will keep working to give my 100%".
The Italian, with the title of Hot Beijing under his arm, arrived in Shanghai to defend his crown: "This week will be a great challenge, especially the first round".
The weekend is approaching, and that means the stars come out to play. At the Shanghai 2025 Masters 1000, excitement awaits this Friday. Just take a look at the order of play they have prepared for us this Friday, October 3rd. Many matches to look forward to, but above all, a first-round clash between Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic that promises to be thrilling.
The Balkan showdown will grab most of the attention, but there will be more. For instance, the return to competition of Ben Shelton after a few weeks sidelined due to injury, or the presence of Taylor Fritz closing the day as the established leading player he has become. Others like Frances Tiafoe, Casper Ruud, or Holger Rune will add their personal touch to the evening, not forgetting our very own Jaume Munar, who has a beautiful match against Flavio Cobolli.
