Novak Djokovic’s Road to ATP Finals Takes a Risky Turn as New Hurdle Emerges

Novak Djokovic’s Shanghai campaign ended with a mere 10 Race to Turin points to show for it, as Hubert Hurkacz sent him packing with a 6-4, 6-3 defeat in just 87 minutes. Particularly surprising because Djokovic had won the Shanghai Masters four times and had never exited the tournament before the quarter-finals. Yet, just three days after lifting the title in Beijing, the Serb found himself facing a very different reality. The setback has now made his path to the ATP Finals even trickier, with Alex de Minaur moving ahead of him in the Race to Turin standings.
