–
As the main draw gets under way in Shanghai, the finals happened in Beijing.
And it’s a shock – or maybe not so much – that it was No. 2 Daniil Medvedev not against No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, but No. 6 seed Jannik Sinner.
Who ended up winning it all.
No seeds playing as the Shanghai draw is at 96 for the first time, so there are 32 seeds who have first-round byes.
But there was still plenty of star power as Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Fabio Fognini and Richard Gasquet were all in action – even though all of them went out.
(Beijing and Shanghai are 12 hours ahead of EDT; Astana is 10 hours ahead)
