Zverev saved three set points and won his first match since clinching the year-end No. 1 ranking.
- On Tuesday, Alexander Zverev defeated Alexander Bublik 7-6 , 4-6, 7-6 to reach the Shanghai Masters quarterfinals in his first match since securing the year-end number one ranking.

- Bublik led 20-15 in aces but committed eight double faults to Zverev's one. Zverev saved three set points in the opening tiebreaker and noted, "My ankle was acting up unfortunately again," during the match.
- Zverev will next face Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals, who defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4 to advance. De Minaur has won their last two meetings, both at the Laver Cup.
- Elsewhere, 56th-ranked Arthur Gea defeated Jakub Mensik 7-6 , 6-4 to remain in contention. Zverev won the French Open and U.S. Open this year for his first two Grand Slam titles.
