Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Shanghai After Tokyo Title Win

Alcaraz captured his eighth title of the year in Tokyo, beating Taylor Fritz despite an ankle scare. He later announced his withdrawal from Shanghai, citing “physical issues” and the need to “rest and recover.” The Spaniard has now won three straight titles since Wimbledon, lifting his season tally to 67 victories, just behind Jannik Sinner’s 73 from 2024.
