Rain halts Sunday play in Shanghai, Medvedev in action under roof

Sinner, Alcaraz also on Stadium Court in Sunday’s schedule

October 06, 2024

Play at the Rolex Shanghai Masters has been suspended for a second successive day due to rain. There is currently no play to begin on the outside courts until at least 2 p.m. local time (CST) at the ATP Masters 1000 event.

With a retractable roof on Stadium Court, Daniil Medvedev and Matteo Arnaldi’s second-round clash will continue as the pair head into a deciding set. It is the sole match that has been contested on Sunday in Shanghai, though three are scheduled to follow under the roof. 

Jannik Sinner is set to take to the court against Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry, and Carlos Alcaraz will battle home hope Wu Yibing for a place in the third round. Eleventh seed Tommy Paul will then conclude Sunday’s play on Stadium Court when he takes on Alejandro Tabilo in a bid 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 get underway on the outside courts once the rain has stopped.
