The Shanghai Masters is due to take place between 7-18 October. It will be the 15th edition of the tournament and is classified as an ATP Masters 1000 event on the ATP Tour.
It will take place at Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena in Shanghai, China from 7 to 18 October 2026. Valentin Vacherot is the defending champion winning a surprise title last time out.
The entry list currently is led by Jannik Sinner, but whether he plays or not remains to be seen. He is set to make a decision in short order about it. If not, it would be Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Novak Djokovic leading the way currently.
It is the landmark tournament of the Asian hard court swing. China Open before that this week, while the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals are the highlight following this.

- No more bullshit "Wildcards" to these two. Qualify like everyone else -- there will be cameras there, too. Time to scream... WTF ????!!!!
mandoist29-09-2026 - Let's not BS the general public -- Sabalenka started showing cracks in her game last season. Her losses and near-losses started at about the same time she began being distracted by Fame (constant Selfies, making TV commercials, magazine shoots, endless Social Media nonsense, etc., etc.) One would think even Saba could recognize the parallels with others who failed before her -- Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard to name a few.mandoist25-09-2026
- Gross!! Hey Raducanu, Giorgi, and Bouchard -- reserve a seat at your Social Media Selfie table for Saba + Naomi. They're heading in your direction soon enough.mandoist24-09-2026
- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.DaveyWavey22-09-2026

- This child is just too fragile. Step away from tennis for a year. Get healthy, get fit; train hard;ranking be damned, and come back as strong contender. Anisimova did it. So can Emma.Rapunzel17-09-2026
- Double standards, what can be said!? Venus is p**ing on media and public. Can't face defeat. Cowerdness! Shouldn't be given any other wild cards ever. That's gross disrespect.DragosJacob16-09-2026
