After rain delays blighted the latest day of action at the Shanghai Masters, the outside courts will conclude their second round and the third round begins.
Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner are among the leading lights involved in Shanghai on Sunday in a packed schedule from start to finish. Our preview looks ahead to Sunday.
Those slated on the Stadium Court start with a bound to be entertaining clash as Casper Ruud takes on Christopher Eubanks, before Daniil Medvedev carries on from his superb run in Beijing in facing off against Sebastian Korda albeit on a court that he said was as slow as Indian Wells.
Korda himself comes from Astana where he reached the final losing to Adrian Mannarino so a man in form against technically the defending champion. Jannik Sinner follows on against Sebastian Baez, of course defeating Medvedev in Beijing before Zhizhen Zhang concludes the show court slate against Brandon Nakashima.
Making history as the first Chinese player at the Shanghai Masters to win back-to-back games, the anchor of Chinese men's tennis will aim to extend that record.
The other show courts see Frances Tiafoe open up against Lorenzo Sonego, it is an American theme with Ben Shelton taking on Roman Safiullin. The latter in particular reached the final in Chengdu.
Andrey Rublev, Cameron Norrie, Grigor Dimitrov also play on Sunday. Carlos Alcaraz on the other hand will play on Monday after opening up his account with victory.
