Shanghai Entry List Update Oct 3, 2026
The Shanghai field has taken another hit, with Jannik Sinner, Arthur Rinderknech, Francisco Comesaña Burruchaga, and Corentin Moutet withdrawing.
Facundo Díaz Acosta and Marco Trungelliti entered the field after Burruchaga and Moutet withdrew, while Aleksandar Kovacevic replaced Rinderknech.
Sinner’s withdrawal opened the door for Rinky Hijikata to move into the main draw.
The next player in line for a main-draw spot is now Rinky Hijikata’s successor on the alternate list.
EDITORS UPDATE 9-21-2026: Joao Fonseca has pulled out of the 2026 Rolex Shanghai Masters entry list. Zachary Svajda moves into the main draw following Fonseca’s withdrawal, with Marin Cilic now next in line. Svajda’s promotion also opens a qualifying spot for Federico Cinà, while Yoshihito Nishioka moves to the top of the qualifying alternate list.
The 2026 Rolex Shanghai Masters entry list is taking shape, with Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz currently leading a loaded field for the ATP Masters 1000 event.
The current direct-entry cutoff reaches Camilo Ugo Carabelli, who sits at No. 75 in the live rankings. That cutoff will continue to move as players withdraw and alternates enter the field.
