Tiafoe, Norrie Matches Among Those Suspended Due To Shanghai Rain

Saturday’s play at the Rolex Shanghai Masters has been disrupted after persistent rain forced matches on outside courts to be suspended at the ATP Masters 1000 event.

After a couple of short stoppages earlier in the day, play was halted just after 4 p.m. local time in China, with no restart currently scheduled before 6 p.m. The action continues under the retractable roof of the Qizhong Tennis Center’s Stadium Court, where Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas have already claimed second-round victories. Jannik Sinner, champion in Beijing earlier this week, is currently in action against Marcos Giron.

Matches involving seeded players Frances Tiafoe, Cameron Norrie and Ugo Humbert are all currently suspended. Norrie leads J.J. Wolf 3-6, 7-5, 3-2 with a break in the third set, while Tiafoe trails Lorenzo Sonego 6-2, 2-6, 1-2 with the pair on serve in the decider. Humbert and Botic van de Zandschulp are level at 2-2 in the opening set of their second-round clash.
