Players will fight for a spot in the third round on Day 4 of the 2023 Shanghai Masters on Saturday (October 7).
Top-10 players Alexander Zverev and Holger Rune were knocked out on Friday, with both losing their matches in straight sets. Five other seeded players were eliminated as well.
The tour's leading stars, including Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner, will now be in action on Saturday. The Italian defeated the other two to claim the China Open title in Beijing a few days ago. He's up against Marcos Giron in the second round here.
With an eye on the No. 1 ranking, Alcaraz will be keen to make a deep run in Shanghai. He'll kick off his challenge here against Gregoire Barrere. The American trio of Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul will be looking to make a winning start as well.
With the who's who of the ATP tour in the mix, Saturday's line-up is one of the most exciting ones of the year so far. On that note, here's a look at the schedule for Day 4 of the Shanghai Masters:
