Bernard Tomic returns to ATP Masters 1000 after seven years

Bernard Tomic, 33, has qualified for the main draw of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time in seven years. After defeating Terence Atmane and Timofey Skatov in Shanghai, Tomic will face Matteo Arnaldi in the first round. Tomic's journey saw him once ranked as high as 17th but struggle significantly due to fitness and motivation issues, leading to his absence from top competition. In recent years, he has shown signs of maturity and effort, culminating in his return to a major tournament. His previous appearance was in 2019 at the Rogers Cup in Canada.
