Felix Auger-Aliassime Withdraws from Shanghai Masters Due to Knee Injury

Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada has withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters following a knee injury. The fifth-ranked player from Montreal retired during his fourth-round match against Norway's Casper Ruud, trailing 5-2 in the first set after just 35 minutes of play.

Auger-Aliassime appeared to sustain the injury early in the match and received treatment before ultimately deciding he could not continue. As a result, Ruud advances to the quarterfinals, where he will face Spain's Rafael Jodar, who defeated Dutch player Botic van de Zandschulp with a score of 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-2.
