Hurkacz Ends Djokovic's Shanghai Run and 8-0 H2H

Hubert Hurkacz defeated Djokovic 6-4, 6-3 on 9 October, ending Djokovic's 8-0 head-to-head advantage and eliminating him from Shanghai. Hurkacz's 13 aces and dominant serving exposed Djokovic's lack of freshness and difficulty adapting to the fast court after Beijing.
