Carlos Alcaraz Wins Japan Open Title But Pulls Out Of Shanghai Masters
Alcaraz, leading the ATP Tour with 67 wins, withdrew from Shanghai Masters to rest and recover from an ankle injury sustained during the Japan Open, prioritizing long-term fitness.
- On Tuesday, World No 1 Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the Rolex Shanghai Masters less than two hours after winning the Japan Open, citing `physical problems`.
- After an opening-match ankle injury in Tokyo, Alcaraz played through with heavy strapping, credited physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno, and accepted his team's advice to prioritise rest.
- On his Tokyo debut, Alcaraz won five matches, including a 6-4, 6-4 final victory over American Taylor Fritz to claim the Japan Open title.
- Alcaraz's withdrawal leaves the event without its top seed while Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner headline the field, and Corentin Moutet becomes the 33rd seed, altering the Rolex Shanghai Masters draw.
- Alcaraz will now likely travel home to rest, ending his Asian swing early and skipping Vienna and Basel tournaments, with the Paris Masters starting October 27th and ATP Finals in Turin pending.
