Rain was the unexpected star on Monday at the Shanghai Masters. All morning matches were temporarily suspended due to downpour at the Qizhong sports center, where the tournament is being held.
It also affected the center courtwhere the Bulgarians played the tie break of the first set Grigor Dimitrov and Russian Karen Khachanovalthough play resumed about an hour later, when the stadium’s retractable cover was closed and the field dried out.
This delay may delay the fight of Carlos Alcaraz, who will face Dan Evans starting at 12:30 pm and now it will probably start later.
On the outdoor courts, the matches affected were the singles duel between the American Tommy Paul and the Frenchman Arthur Fils and the doubles match between the team formed by the Polish Hurkacz and the American Shelton and the Australian Hijikata and of British Norrie.
