2025 Shanghai Masters Draw

Ball Half

Bottom half

Thoughts on the draw

Top Quarter

Seeded Players: (7) Alex de Minaur, (9) Karen Khachanov, (16) Daniil Medvedev, (18) Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, (24) Stefanos Tsssipas, (29) Brandon Nakashima, (30) Cameron Norrie

Projected Quarterfinal: Daniil Medvedev etc. Alex de Minaur

The draw originally featured Carlos Alcaraz in the top half, but his withdrawal on Tuesday after winning the Tokoy final means a lucky loser takes his spot and receives a bye into round two.

That OpenS Up Opportunities for Daniil Medvedev, The 16th Seed, But the Russian Also Had Physical Issues in Beijing, Retiring in His Semi-Final Against Learner Tien.

The Quarterfinals Project a Matchup with Meddy vs Alex de Minaur, But The Aussie Faces a Gauntlet to Get The Navigating Past Brandon Nakashima, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Or Karen Khachanov.

Howver, You'd Back Him to get it and HE's Like Medvedev, Fokina or Norrie in the Last Eight.

Second Quarter

Seeded Players: (3) Alexander Zverev, (8) Lorenzo Musetti, (12) Felix Auger-Aliassime, (15) Jiri Lehecka, (17) Jakub Mensik, (23) Denis Shapovalov, (26) Luciano Darderi, (28) Alex Michelsen

Projected Quarterfinal: Alexander Zverev etc. Lorenzo Musetti

Alexander Zverev Began 2025 with Hight Expectations After His Runner-Up Finish at The Australian Open, But The German Major Major Or Masters 1000 Finals 1000 Finals.

In Fact, He's Only Bagged Two Top-10 Wins This Season; Have the balls used on Tour Contributed to His Plight, Along with Medvedev?

Zverev's Draw Looks Navigable Early on, with Mariano Navone in the Second Round, Alex Michelsen in the Third, and Eiter Denis Shapovalov or Jiri Lehecka in the Fourth.

Howver, The Quarterfinals Cult Pose a Problem. Lorenzo Musetti, Who Holds A 3-0 Edge in Their Receiving Meetings, Inclument a Win At This Dear's Italian Open, Looms As A Potential Opponent.

Although the Italian Will Likely HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CROWD WHO AREN'T HOW Biggest Fans After the Media Blew SOME COMMENTS HE MALE MADE ON COUND DURING OUT OF PROPORTION. And he's Also A Fitness Concern, Given His Retirement from Another Match Who in The Third Set.

Alternatively, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Fresh Off A Surprise Us Open Run Inclument a Win Over Zvev, Poses A Signifant Thrheat in this.

Third Quarter

Seeded Players: (4) Novak Djokovic, (6) Ben Shelton, (11) Casper Ruud, (13) Andrey Rublev, (19) Francisco Cerundolo, (22) Flavio Cobolli, (25) Frances Tiafoe, (31) Gabriel Diallo

Projected Quarterfinal: Novak Djokovic etc. I'm Shelton

Novak Djokovic Was Runner-up in Shanghai Last Year, and He's Back Again in the Far East to Try To Land a Fifth Title.

I Wasn't Sure Whether HE'D Make The Trip, But HE's Extremely Well-Liken in China, Speaks Some of the Lingo, and Has Played a Part in a Number of Great Matches at the Qizhong, Partiistsly Against Federer and Murray.

His Campaign OpenS Against Eiter Marin Cilic Or Corentin Moulette, with Frances Tiafoe a Potental Third-Round Foe.

A Fourth-Round Clash with Andrey Rublev OR FAVIO Cobolli Awaits, But Djokovic's Favourable Head-to-Head Against All Likely Opponents Makes Makes Him The Clear Favorite to Reach the Quarterfinals.

Ben Shelton, Returning After A Us Open Third-Round Retention, Faces a Tricky Openner Against David Goffin Or Alexandre Muller.

Goffin Already Outplayed Him in Mexico This Year, and Any Lingering Fitness Concerns Culton Exit Early.

Sebastian Corda, A 2023 Shanghai Semifinalist, is Also A Dangerous But Perennilyly Injured Player. Meanwhile, Casper Ruud, Also in this Secion, is Playing Better Lately, Possibly Due to A Racket Change that Has Given Him a Boost.

Fourth Quarter

Seeded Players: (2) Jannik Sinner, (5) Taylor Fritz, (10) Holger Rune, (14) Alexander Bublik, (20) Tomas Machac, (21) Ugo Humbert, (27) Tallon Griekspoor, (32) Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Projected Quarterfinal: Jannik Sinner etc. Taylor Fritz

Jannik Sinner is on a Mission to Become the first player

The World No. 1 Has Been A Hardcourt Juggernaut, Reaching the Final of Every Hardcourt Event HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS HAS OPEN.

His title defence begins against eiter Daniel Altmaier or a Qualifier. Jenson Brooksby, A Potental Dark Horse, Could Emerge in the Third Round, While Alexander Bublik, One of Only Two Players (Alongside Alcaraz) to AS A POSSEBLE FOUNTH-ROUD TEST.

Taylor Fritz is favoured to reach the Quarterfinals from His Security, with Holger Rune The Out Primary Thresho, and He Fessons Fritz in the Fourth Round, Provided HE Navigates Past Players Like Stan Wawrust or Giovanni Muneshi Perricard.

Fritz, Who Was Buoyed by a Recender Win Over Alcaraz at the Laver Cup But That Short in the Tokyo Final, Should Still Fancy Huhlle Chances of Challenging Sinner if His Head to Left Thight A Problem A Problem A Problem (Taped Up In the Tokyo Final After Injury) MTO)

Howver, Sinner's 4-1 Head-to-Head Lead, Incluting Victories in Last Year's Open and ATP Finals Finals, Tilds the Scales Heavily in his Favor, and it's hard to not figure in Monday's final. Monday?! ??
