Carlos Alcaraz beat Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-3 6-3 to reach the third round of the Shanghai Masters.

Carlos Alcaraz progressed to the third round of the Shanghai Masters after defeating Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-3 6-3. The second seed debuted a new look for the tournament, sporting a moustache along with his team members in the stands.

Alcaraz revealed the facial hair agreement stemmed from his Tokyo title win earlier this week. 'It's going to stay for the week,' said the Spaniard. 'I always wanted to step on the court with a moustache. Before Tokyo it was like, All right, if I win the tournament, we all have to have the moustache and play Shanghai with a moustache. It's going to be fun, we're laughing around, just having fun with it.'

In other matches, Valentin Vacherot, who won the Shanghai title last year as a qualifier, beat Sebastian Baez 6-4 7-6 (5) in his opening match and next faces 15th seed Tommy Paul. Fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Camilo Ugo Carabelli 4-6 7-6 (7-1) 7-5 in nearly three hours, while Daniil Medvedev, playing his first match since being defaulted in Beijing, came from a set down to beat Jan-Lennard Struff 4-6 6-4 6-3.
