Two more ATP competitions will be organized in China in late September and early October as well. The ATP 500 event, the China Open, will begin on September 26, whereas the ATP 1000 event, the Shanghai Masters, will begin on October 02.

Some high-profile players will also feature in the first-ever edition of the competition. The most high-profile names would be Russia’s Andrey Rublev, Denmark’s Holger Rune, China’s Zhang Zhizhen, America’s Sebastian Korda and Italy’s Matteo Berrettini.

Rublev is coming into the event on the back of a rather disappointing US Open, where he was knocked out of the competition after losing in the fourth round to Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in a five-set thriller with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 1-6, 3-6, 6-3. Rune had a horrible outing in New York as he lost in the first round to America’s Brandon Nakashima in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. Zhizhen’s journey in the US Open was cut short as he was forced to retire from the first-round encounter against Britain’s Jack Draper. America’s Korda lost in the second-round at the Flashing Meadows to the Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac with a score of 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Berrettini also lost in the round of 64 in the US Open to America’s Taylor Fritz in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-1.
