Sky Sports commentators called Alexander Zverev out for thinking he was "above the rules" after the German launched a ferocious outburst in Shanghai. After receiving a not-up call during his third-round match, Zverev stormed to the chair and declared that "umpires are f***ing up the tournament this year".

World no. 66 David Goffin made a massive upset in the fourth round of the Shanghai Masters. The Belgian ousted world no. 3 Alexander Zverev 6-4, 7-5 in an hour and 56 minutes, moving into his first Masters 1000 quarter-final since Monte Carlo three years ago!

Zverev is coming off a 6-7, 6-3, 4-6, 6-7 defeat at the hands of No. 12-ranked Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals at the US Open. In the past two years against one another, Zverev has two wins and Goffin has zero. In their last meeting, on May 30, 2024, Zverev won 7-6, 6-2, 6-2.
