Grigor Dimitrov continues to have a strong 2023 season. The Bulgarian beat Karen Khachanov 7:6 (6) and 6:4 in Shanghai on Monday and thus moved into the round of 16. There it could be against tournament favorite Carlos Alcaraz. However, the Spaniard first has to assert himself against Daniel Evans.
Andey Rublev knew how to convince, who didn't spend long with Astana champion Adrian Mannarino and won 6:3 and 6:0. Rublev will play the day after tomorrow against Tommy Paul, who had to go to three sets against the young Frenchman Arthur Fils.
Taylor Fritz suffered a setback in the fight for a place at the ATP Finals. The American served in the third set against Diego Schwartzman to win the match - and then had to admit defeat 4:6, 6:3 and 6:7 (5).
