In Shanghai, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz return to competition on the back of their Beijing and Tokyo titles.<\/p>\n<h2>Zverev, the 30th world No. 1<\/h2>\n<p>Without Jannik Sinner, whose knee ended his season early, the tour already knows his successor: Alexander Zverev, the future 30th world No. 1 and the second German after Boris Becker.
