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.
