Zverev beats de Minaur 6-4, 6-4. Friday quarterfinals have no score

Thursday is on the results page

ATP Tour lists Thursday 15 October at the Rolex Shanghai Masters as finished for the top half. Alexander Zverev, the top seed, beat Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-4 in 1 hour 17 minutes on Stadium Court. The Rolex tournament site prints the same score. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina had already gone through when Arthur Gea retired at 4-1.

The Rolex report says Zverev won 80 percent of first-serve points, 35 of 44, and hit 10 aces. The match lasted 78 minutes. He is the year-end world No. 1. Jannik Sinner remains out for the rest of the season. Zverev plays Davidovich Fokina in Saturday’s semifinal.

Friday is an order of play, not a result

The ATP schedule note for Friday 16 October puts Stadium Court on from 12:00. Doubles open the court. Rafael Jodar, seeded 12, plays Casper Ruud, seeded 20, not before 14:30. Daniil Medvedev, seeded 5, plays Tommy Paul, seeded 15, not before 18:00. The ATP results page still stops at Thursday. This desk does not invent those two scores.

Wednesday is already printed. Jodar beat Botic van de Zandschulp 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2. Ruud led Felix Auger-Aliassime 5-2 when the Canadian retired. Medvedev beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 7-5. Paul beat Zizou Bergs 7-6 (5), 6-4.
