Much going on this Friday in Shanghai, including the return of Novak Djokovic for the first time since the US Open.
There is also very short turners for players who went deep into the 500 tournaments of the Spillover – Taylor Fritz, who had to travel from Tokyo to Shanghai to Shanghai after the final, there is one.
And Jannik Sinner and student ten, champion and finalist in Beijing Wednesday evening have less than 48 hours to turn it around. They have a private jet to get them there. But the circumstances look pretty different.
Especially for ten it is still an R128 match, although they were done and dusted in Shanghai on Wednesday and Thursday. So opponent Miomir Kecmanovic had to wait for him. And then it will turn around and play no. 33 Seed Corentin maltet the next day.
It could have been worse; Moutet is at the top of the draw to replace No. 1 Seed Carlos Alcaraz, who withdrew after winning Tokyo.
Also: newlywed Félix Auger-Aliassy plays his first game since the wedding, and his first of the Asian Swing, in double. Gabriel Diallo has a double header (singles and double) on his schedule.
(Beijing and Shanghai are 12 hours ahead of EDT)
