Shanghai Masters 2025 Schedule Day 9: Novak Djokovic, Holger Rune & others in action - TV schedule, order of play, and live streaming details

Day 9 (Tuesday, October 7) of the Shanghai Masters 2025 will mark the start of the fourth-round matches. 24-time Major champion Novak Djokovic's stock as the title favorite has risen considerably over the past two days. Already the most accomplished player in the history of the tournament, the path to his fifth title in Shanghai has opened up quite nicely.

Carlos Alcaraz withdrew prior to the start of the tournament, and defending champion Jannik Sinner retired from his third-round match due to intense cramps. Djokovic could've bumped into the Italian in the semifinals. With two of his biggest threats out of the way, the 38-year-old will be keen to capitalize on a rare easy draw. He will take on Jaume Munar in the fourth round.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard upset the in-form Taylor Fritz in the previous round, and will now face Holger Rune for a spot in the quarterfinals, potentially his first at a Masters 1000 tournament. Tallon Griekspoor was the beneficiary of Sinner's mid-match retirement, resulting in the best win of his career in terms of ranking. He will take on qualifier Valentin Vacherot in the fourth round.

Gabriel Diallo and Zizou Bergs will also square off in the fourth round. With another day of entertaining matches lined up, here's a look at the schedule for Day 9 of the Shanghai Masters 2025:

Rohit is not particularly fond of (GOAT) debates and it is one of the reasons why he left the legal world behind. He prefers to view players in "tiers," where they're all esteemed to an extent. However, if pressed to name favorites, he would choose Serena and Venus Williams. The Williams sisters' journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of tennis has been his greatest source of inspiration.

When he isn't busy making spot-on predictions about match outcomes, Rohit likes reading, particularly fantasy, sci-fi, and comics. As an X-Men fanatic, he's also passionate about board games and enjoys watching movies in his spare time.
