Draws

The latest results and updates from British tennis players competing at the Shanghai Masters will be available on the LTA website.

Who are the top seeds at the Shanghai Masters 2024?

Which British players are competing at the Shanghai Masters 2024?

Jack Draper is the only British tennis player who’s guaranteed a spot in this year’s main draw at Shanghai, after reaching his best career ranking to date of world No.20.

Draper embarked on a fairytale run to his first Grand Slam semi-final at the US Open earlier this month, where he didn’t drop a single set en route to the final four before being defeated by eventual champion Jannik Sinner.

While the 22-year-old fell short in both of his singles matches at the Davis Cup Finals Group Stages in Manchester, Draper bounced back to winning form at the Japan Open where he’s just booked his spot in the quarter-finals. With his confidence brimming and the British No.1 playing some of the best tennis of his career, Draper could be one to go the distance in Shanghai.

Billy Harris and Dan Evans will both bid to join Draper in the main draw as they prepare to compete in the qualifying rounds.

Doubles

This year’s doubles draw is stacked with British interest, as five players gear up to take home the penultimate Masters 1000 crown of the season.

Topping the entry list is Joe Salisbury who will join forces with Australia’s Matthew Ebden. The Brit has recently split from long-term doubles partner of six years, Rajeev Ram, and has announced that he will team up with fellow Brit Neal Skupski for the 2025 season.

Before that, Salisbury will look to hit form in the business end of this tennis season, as he prepares to hunt down a second title of the year.

Skupski also features on the entry list in Shanghai where he and Michael Venus will pair up once again, while reigning Wimbledon doubles champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara will go in pursuit of a first Masters title as a duo. The British, Finnish partnership have been a formidable force on the tour this year, having collected three titles so far and will be eager to finish strong as they look to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in November.

Newly formed all-British team Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash complete the British doubles contingent.
