How to watch the 2024 Shanghai Masters live stream

Some of the biggest names on the ATP Tour in China will compete in the eighth ATP Masters 1000 event of 2024. The Shanghai Masters will take place from October 2nd to 13th on the hard courts of the Qi Zhong Tennis Center.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch the Shanghai Masters 2024 online from anywhere with a VPN.

The four Grand Slam titles may be decided, but the 2024 season is still in full swing and there is plenty to play for in Shanghai. With $1.1 million in prize money and 1,000 ranking points for the eventual champion, it's no surprise that a strong field was assembled in China.

Runaway world No. 1 Jannik Sinner will be looking to win his seventh title of the season but will face a tough challenge from the likes of second seed Alexander Zverev and reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz . Four-time champion Novak Djokovic will also pose a threat as he looks for his first Tour title in 2024.

Fifth seed Daniil Medvedev is on the same side of the draw as Sinner and could face the Italian in the quarter-finals, while Poland's Hubert Hurkacz will be hoping he can repeat the form that saw him win the title last year. Other names to look out for include US Open runner-up Taylor Fritz, eighth seed Casper Ruud and in-form Tomas Machac, who is climbing up the rankings.

With a well-filled field of participants and an ATP 1000 title up for grabs, it should be a fascinating tournament. Check out all the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch the 2024 Shanghai Masters from anywhere.
