Marta Kostyuk had a candid response to Alcaraz’s new look at the Shanghai event. Following his comeback from injury, Alcaraz has been sporting long hair in addition to the moustache. Some speculate this new style may be related to recent rumors about his relationship status.

After winning the Japan Open, Alcaraz has shown impressive form since returning from a four-month hiatus due to a wrist injury. In this second-round match of the Shanghai Masters, he celebrated his first match back at this event in two years.

Daniil Medvedev also competed in the Shanghai Masters, winning his first match since his disqualification at the China Open. He defeated Jan-Lennard Struff in a closely contested match, marking a notable comeback for him as well.
