Djokovic had (more) nice words to Kei Nishikori in Shanghai.
"I would like to use another opportunity to congratulate Kei for his outstanding career, a lot to be proud of. He, unfortunately, was injured quite a lot and struggled throughout his career to keep fit. I think this probably might be the only regret that he has, that he wasn't able to maybe stay healthier longer.
“Because he was, when he was playing his best tennis, he was a top-5 player. Incredibly quick, so talented, the striking and timing of his shots was exceptional. Of course, him retiring in his country, in front of his people, is something that I think every player really dreams of, so I'm sure that he enjoyed his farewell there.”

Carlos Alcaraz on beating Munar to reach the Tokyo Final
“I don’t know what happened in the first set… The first sets in general to be honest. I don’t know. I started the match well, breaks, serving for the set. Don’t know what happened. It seems like I’m struggling every first set. But the way I come back every time I’m just really happy about it.”
INSÓLITO LO QUE SUCEDIÓ EN BEIJING.
Maria Timofeeva sufrió el robo de su reloj dentro del vestuario tras su partido frente a Naomi Osaka.
La tenista rusa contó que dejó su raquetero fuera del casillero apenas 10 minutos mientras se duchaba y al salir ya no estaba.
"Definitivamente no es como quería terminar mi día después de perder en tres sets".
