BORGES ACKNOWLEDGING CROWD  STORY: Alex de Minaur and Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the fourth round of the Shanghai Masters on Monday (October 6), each claiming straight-sets victories to continue their strong starts at the ATP Masters 1000 event. Seventh-seeded De Minaur defeated Kamil Majchrzak 6-1 7-5, while 12th seed Auger-Aliassime overcame Jesper de Jong 6-4 7-5. De Minaur broke Majchrzak's serve five times to secure his Tour-leading 36th hard-court win of the season. Despite briefly trailing 3-4 in the second set, the Australian recovered with two consecutive breaks and remains in contention for a spot at the ATP Finals for the second straight year. Auger-Aliassime also maintained his perfect start in Shanghai, dispatching de Jong without losing a set across his first two matches. The Canadian is looking to bolster his season after a challenging year and will seek to continue his momentum in the next round. De Minaur is set to face Portugal's Nuno Borges, who defeated home favourite Shang Juncheng 7-6(5) 4-6 6-3 to reach the fourth round at a Masters 1000 event for the fourth time in his career. Meanwhile, Jiri Lehecka knocked out Canadian Denis Shapovalov 6-4 6-4 and will next face either third seed Alexander Zverev or France's Arthur Rinderknech.  (Production: Suramya Kaushik)
