Basilashvili Close to Returning to Top 100
Nikoloz Basilashvili dropped out of the Top 100 in 2023 and is yet to return. He recently reached the semi-finals in Chengdu where he lost in 3 sets to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
The Georgian qualified in Shanghai Masters but didn’t go far, retiring at 6-3 2-2 down to Adrian Mannarino in the first round.

Tsitsipas on the Improve
Stefanos Tsitsipas fell to World No.88 in June but is now back in the Top 40. He won the title in Gstaad but couldn’t reach a quarter-final on hard courts.
The 28-year-old beat Arthur Fils and Jiri Lehecka at the US Open and took out some tough opponents in Shanghai. He defeated Luciano Darderi and Taylor Fritz on his way to the fourth round where he lost in straight sets to Daniil Medvedev.
