Italian ATP player Lorenzo Sonego, a former Australian Open quarter‑finalist, was beaten in the first round of Shanghai Masters qualifying by world No. 430 Aziz Dougaz, 7‑6(5), 5‑7, 6‑4. The loss adds to a poor season for Sonego, who is now ranked No. 87 and faces the risk of dropping out of the top 100 for the first time in seven years.
