Rune-Vacherot, Bergs-Djokovic: Shanghai Schedule for Thursday, October 9
The quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters 1000 will begin this Thursday. Starting at 9:00 AM French time, Holger Rune will face Valentin Vacherot, the tournament's surprise qualifier.
A victory for the Dane would mean a return to the Top 10 for him, while a win for the Monegasque would see him enter the Top 100 for the first time in his career.
Later, not before 12:30 PM, Novak Djokovic will take on Zizou Bergs. Many questions remain about the Serbian's health, as he was forced to cancel his press conference after his victory over Jaume Munar in the previous round.
