Play at the Rolex Shanghai Masters was suspended for the second time in a row due to rain. Currently no play will begin on outdoor courts until at least 2pm local time (CST) at the ATP Masters 1000 event.
With a retractable roof on the Stadium Court, Daniil Medvedev and Matteo Arnaldi’s second-round contest will continue as the pair head to the top. It was the only match on Sunday in Shanghai, although three are scheduled to follow under the roof.
Jannik Sinner will enter the court against Tomas Martin Etcheverry from Argentina, while Carlos Alcaraz will fight at home against Wu Yibing who will get a place in the third round. Eleventh-seeded Tommy Paul will conclude Sunday’s match on Stadium Court when he faces Alejandro Tabilo in an attempt to extend his 1-0 lead in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
Taylor Fritz, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Holger Rune are among the stars waiting to continue on the outdoor courts once the rain stops.
