Carlos Alcaraz made his debut at the ATP Shanghai last Sunday, October 6, advancing to the round of 16 after his victory over Wu Yibing. Therefore, the next match for the Spanish player should have taken place on Wednesday. However, Carlitos will not take to the courts that day as the rains in Shanghai have forced the daily schedule to be rearranged. Alcaraz still does not know his opponent for the round of 16 since the match between Gael Monfils and Ugo Humbert (his potential opponent) has been postponed twice. Thus, Carlitos will have two rest days before his next match. This means that if he progresses to the final, the player from Murcia will only have one day off between Wednesday and Sunday.
