SHANGHAI, China \u2013 After suffering a shoulder injury in the US Open in the beginning of September, fans can finally see Ben Shelton<\/a> back on the court. Shelton took about a month off from competitions to give his body time to recover from the injury, and set to return in the Rolex Shanghai Masters.<\/p>\n

The Rolex Shanghai Masters<\/a> is an ATP Masters 1000 competition which means that the player who wins the overall tournament will receive 1000 points to add to their ATP score which determines the different ATP rankings. <\/p>\n

At the moment, the world No. 1 has changed from Jannik Sinner to Carlos Alcaraz following Alcaraz’s win in the US Open. Although there has been a lot of shifting in the top 10 rankings, Shelton has remained No. 6 even with his time off. <\/p>\n

Shelton earned a first round bye, but will face off against David Goffin, who is ranked No. 83 by the ATP, in the Round of 64. The two will play at 12:30 a.m. EST on Oct. 3, 2025. The two have only faced off once this year in the Round of 16 at Acapulco, where Goffin came out with the win.<\/p>\n

The match can be watched on the Tennis Channel and streamed on Tennis TV<\/a> with a subscription. <\/p>\n
