ATP quarterfinals, Sunday 4 October. Semifinals on Monday are not in the book.

Djokovic beats top seed Zverev in Beijing. Alcaraz reaches the Tokyo semis.

Why this match matters

The ATP quarterfinals in Beijing and Tokyo are final. Monday’s semifinals, including Alcaraz against Munar on the Tokyo draw, were not played when this desk closed. Jannik Sinner remains out of Shanghai. No Shanghai result is printed. Saturday’s Alcaraz win over Matteo Arnaldi stays in the book as history.

What actually happened

Beijing, from the ATP: Novak Djokovic, seeded 6, beat Alexander Zverev, seeded 1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Daniil Medvedev beat Francisco Cerundolo 7-6 (4), 6-3. Alex de Minaur beat Andrey Rublev 1-6, 6-2, 6-3. Hubert Hurkacz beat Karen Khachanov 7-6 (2), 6-2. The ATP cited Djokovic’s China Open record as 32-0.

What it changes

Tokyo, from the ATP: Carlos Alcaraz beat Denis Shapovalov 7-6 (3), 2-1 retired. Valentin Vacherot beat Arthur Fils 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. Jaume Munar beat Kyrian Jacquet 6-4, 6-2. Jiri Lehecka beat Adolfo Daniel Vallejo 6-1, 6-1. Those are quarterfinals. The semifinals are the next line, and they are not results.
