Alexander Zverev had the great opportunity to be present on the professional circuit. The German arrived at the Shanghai Masters 1000, a competition that did not have the presence of Carlos Alcaraz (1st in the world ranking) and that already lost Jannik Sinner (2nd), who was forced to withdraw due to injury from his match against Tallon Griekspoor (31st). However, Sascha was once again in debt.

Zverev could not even get into the round of 16 of the Chinese competition, because he bowed out in the third round after being defeated by the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech (54th), with partials of 4-6, 6-3 and 6-2.

In this way, not only could he not achieve the mental clean and jerk that he was looking for in a large tournament, but he also could not make a jump in the number of points he has in the world ranking: He only defended the round of 16 in 2024 (that time, defeat with David Goffin), so Enicma loses 50 units.

Whatever happens in Shanghai, he will remain on the podium of the ATP circuit, although very, very far from the first two places, which seems to remain in the hands of Alcaraz and Sinner for a long period of time.
