<\/a><\/p>\nNovak Djokovic will take on Jaume Munar in a Shanghai Masters Round of 16 clash on Tuesday. Last season\u2019s runner-up, Djokovic, didn\u2019t have the easiest outing and had to lose one set to launch a comeback victory over Yannik Hanfmann in the last round.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n
What: Shanghai Masters, Round 4<\/p>\n
Who: No. 4 Novak Djokovic vs. Jaume Munar<\/p>\n
When: Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025<\/p>\n

TV: Tennis Channel<\/p>\n
Novak Djokovic launched his bid for a record-extending fifth title at the Shanghai Masters by beating Marin Cilic in straight sets on Friday in the Serbian\u2019s first match since the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n
The fourth-seeded Djokovic struggled to maintain a grip early in the second-round match and sprinkled sawdust on his hands to combat the humidity. He prevailed 7-6 (2), 6-4.<\/p>\n
After breaking serve early in the second set, Djokovic fought off two break points in the final game before sealing victory with his 10th ace.<\/p>\n
It was his first match since losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the U.S. Open semifinals.<\/p>\n
\u201cI struggled to find my rhythm from the baseline,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cI (lacked) some matches, my last one was at the U.S. Open, so I got a really tough opener against Marin, who when he is feeling the ball is so dangerous and can beat anybody.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t give me time to breathe, so I dug myself out of trouble with good serving, which makes me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Djokovic next faces German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann, who beat American Frances Tiafoe 6-7 (9), 6-2, 6-1.<\/p>\n
Sixth-seeded Ben Shelton, who hadn\u2019t played since a left shoulder injury at the U.S. Open, was beaten by David Goffin 6-2, 6-4.<\/p>\n
Goffin broke serve not long after play resumed after a short rain suspension.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the week, Shelton said that despite the five-week layoff, he still hoped to qualify for the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, beginning Nov. 9.<\/p>\n
Shelton is sixth in the points race for Turin, with eight making the finals. But his loss on Friday will put a dent in those ambitions.<\/p>\n
Fifth-seeded Taylor Fritz edged past Fabian Marozsan of Hungary 2-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (1).<\/p>\n
The top-seeded players in Shanghai all received first-round byes.<\/p>\n
Jannik Sinner, who won the China Open in Beijing on Wednesday, is scheduled to play on Saturday. Top-ranked Alcaraz, who beat Fritz in the Japan Open final, announced after his win in Tokyo that he would not play in Shanghai due to minor ailments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shanghai Masters 2025 Tennis Live Streams Free Start Time, Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
