Top seed Jannik Sinner faces a daunting draw at the Rolex Shanghai Masters.
The Italian could face three former No. 1 players in the PIF ATP Rankings — Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals, Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals and Novak Djokovic in the final — during his run at the Chinese ATP Masters 1000 event.
Sinner will begin his tournament against Japanese veteran Taro Daniel or a qualifier, with 31st seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry the first seeded opponent he could play. Also in his section of the draw are 14th seed Ben Shelton and 21st seed Arthur Fils, both potential fourth-round opponents.
