The final qualifying showdown at the Rolex Shanghai Masters will unfold on Show Court 3 early on Tuesday, October 5th, just before dawn. Timofey Skatov of Kazakhstan will take on Bernard Tomic of Australia, and the winner will advance into the main draw of the tournament. With a best‑of‑three format, both men will need to hold serve and look for break opportunities to secure straight sets. If the match reaches a 1‑1 tie, a tiebreak will decide the set, and the pressure will mount as the winner moves closer to the main‑draw action.
