08:30 CET - The first two matches of the day have concluded in Shanghai as Felix Auger-Aliassime was made to work for victory against veteran Pablo Carreno-Busta.
Auger-Aliassime eventually outclassed the Spaniard in the deciding set but was forced into a decider after Carreno-Busta stunned the fourth seed to take the second set. It will have frustrated the Canadian to have to play another three sets in the early rounds in Shanghai after being taken to a deciding set by Camilo Carabelli in the previous round.
In the other early match in Shanghai, it was a more routine win for Casper Ruud against Learner Tien as the Norwegian won in straight sets in under two hours.
