Ruud and Oger‑Eliasim book spots in Shanghai Masters round of 16

Swedish veteran Casper Ruud and French prodigy Felix Oger‑Eliasim both secured their places in the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters after triumphing in the third round. Ruud dispatched American Learner Tian 6-4, 7-6(3), while Oger‑Eliasim survived a three‑set test against Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta, winning 6-3, 4-6, 6-1.

Ruud’s straight‑sets victory kept his momentum alive as he looks to add another deep run at a Masters‑1000 event this season. Oger‑Eliasim, meanwhile, showed resilience under pressure, turning the match around after dropping the second set. Both players will face tough competition in the upcoming round, with the draw suggesting potential clashes against higher‑seeded opponents.

These wins add to the tournament’s narrative of emerging talent challenging established stars, echoing the surprise performance of Rafael Jodar earlier in the week.
