Tsitsipas match among Monday washouts on outdoor courts in Shanghai

Play was affected by rain for the third consecutive day on Monday at the Rolex Shanghai Masters.

The Day 6 schedule at the ATP Masters 1000 event was reduced to nine singles matches, with play cancelled for the day on outdoor courts. The action continued uninterrupted inside Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena, which is fitted with a retractable roof.

All cancelled matches from Monday, which include Stefanos Tsitsipas' meeting with Alexandre Muller and all doubles matches, have been rescheduled for Tuesday.

Taylor Fritz kicked off the Monday action under the roof by completing a 7-6(4), 7-6(5) second-round victory, one which began on Saturday before a two-day rain delay, against Terence Atmane. The No. 7 in the PIF ATP Rankings was followed onto court by his fellow Top 10 star Grigor Dimitrov, who overcame Zizou Bergs 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.

Frances Tiafoe then defeated home wild card Yi Zhou 6-2, 6-4 to round out the afternoon session on the Stadium Court. In the night session, 12th seed Holger Rune downed Matteo Berrettini in three sets. Flavio Cobolli and Stan Wawrinka are now on court for their maiden Lexus ATP Head2Head clash.

After two days of inclement weather, tournament organisers moved four matches to indoor courts to help relieve pressure on the schedule. Roman Safiullin resumed his second-round meeting with Alexander Bublik at 2-1 in the first set, and he went on to down the 23rd seed 6-4, 6-2. Marcos Giron, David Goffin and Tallon Griekspoor were also winners indoors: Giron downed Karen Khachanov 6-4, 6-3, Goffin upset Lorenzo Musetti 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-2, and Griekspoor eased past 26th seed Jordan Thompson 6-3, 6-2.
