It was his 102nd tour-level title, his first of the season and a record seventh in Beijing, and he beat Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals.

Djokovic called the week phenomenal and said it was "the best week of this year, no doubt". He has won Shanghai a record four times.

Hurkacz set up the match by hitting 19 aces in a 6-3, 7-6(4) win over James Duckworth. Djokovic is ninth in the Race to Turin, the last qualifying place for the Nitto ATP Finals now that Jannik Sinner has ended his season with a knee injury.
