Frances Tiafoe of the United States will open his Shanghai Masters campaign against Zhou Yi of China on Saturday in Beijing. Tiafoe aims to bounce back from a first-round beating he suffered at the hands of Brandon Nakashima 7-5 6-3 at the 2024 Japan Open. The US Open semifinalist has competed at the Laver Cup, where he defeated Daniil Medvedev 3-6 6-4 10-5 and went toe-to-toe with Alexander Zverev 6-7(5) 7-5 10-5. The American is trying to win his first ATP tournament since capturing the Stugart Open last year. Meanwhile, Zhou was gifted with his second win in 8 matches after Yoshihito Nishioka retired while leading 6-4. Ranked 440 in the world, the 19-year-old Chinese is set to face one of the best hard-court players on the ATP Tour in the next round.
