Sinner Starts Shanghai Defence in Style as Zverev Defies Toe Trouble
Defending champion Jannik Sinner won his second-round match 6-3, 6-3 and will face Tallon Griekspoor next as Carlos Alcaraz withdrew to rest, easing Sinner's title defense.
- On Saturday, Jannik Sinner defeated Daniel Altmaier 6-3, 6-3 at the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters, advancing into the third round to face Tallon Griekspoor on Sunday.
- Soon after lifting the Japan Open trophy, Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the Shanghai Masters citing physical issues, a pullout Jannik Sinner called "very unfortunate" for fans.
- Sinner broke early in both sets and controlled the match after taking early leads, while Altmaier failed to convert breakpoints twice as Sinner held with an ace and said the second set felt harder than it looked.
- Jannik Sinner will pursue a fourth seasonal title as he defends the Shanghai crown, and if both progress, he can meet four-time Shanghai champion Novak Djokovic only in the semifinals.
- Carlos Alcaraz will forfeit 200 ATP ranking points and face a 75 per cent bonus reduction, but is slated to appear in the Six Kings Slam exhibition starting October 15.
