Djokovic has won the Shanghai Masters four times, a tournament record. This season, the 38-year-old has won 34 matches and lost 10, winning the ATP 250 Geneva Open in Switzerland and reaching the Grand Slam semi-finals four times.
The last time Nole won the ATP Masters 1000 was at the Paris Masters 2023. This year, he reached the final of the Miami Open in the US but lost to Jakub Mensik (Czech Republic). In his career, in addition to 24 Grand Slams, Djokovic also won the ATP Masters 1000 41 times.
In the quarterfinals of the 2025 Shanghai Masters, Djokovic will meet Zizou Bergs on the afternoon of October 9. The Belgian defeated Diallo 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 in the fourth round. Zizou Bergs is ranked 44th in the world and is considered a lower-ranked player than Djokovic.
Ahead of the 2025 Shanghai Masters, Alcaraz did not participate due to injury. Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev were eliminated after unfortunate defeats in the third round. Therefore, this is an opportunity for Nole to aim for the first ATP Masters 1000 championship in 2 years.
Djokovic’s biggest rivals for the title are Holger Rune, Alex De Minaur and Daniil Medvedev. De Minaur faces Borges (12:40) and Medvedev faces Vietnamese-American Learner Tien (18:40) in the fourth round today (October 8). Holger Rune faces Valentin Vacherot in the quarterfinals tomorrow (October 9).
