The elder Zverev brother reached the third round at Wimbledon, fourth round at the US Open and quarter-finals at the Australian Open, where he upset then-no. 1 Andy Murray. He broke into the Top 25 in July. 5) Outside Looking In: No. 2 seed David Goffin is currently No. 13 in the Emirates ATP Race to London. But with No. 5 Stan Wawrinka and No. 9 Novak Djokovic out for the season, Goffin is only three spots outside the cut-off for qualification at the eight-man Nitto ATP Finals. The 26-yearold Belgian has not reached a semi-final since injuring his right ankle at Roland Garros on June 2. 6) Record-Setter: No. 4 seed Paolo Lorenzi made history at the US Open earlier this month. The 35- year-old Italian became the oldest player in the Open Era to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time. Lorenzi is also the oldest first-time champion in ATP history (2016 Kitzbuehel). 7) First-Time Champion: No. 6 seed Damir Dzumhur debuts in Shenzhen after capturing his first ATP title in St. Petersburg on Sunday and rising to a career-high No. 40.

Zhizhen Zhang, 20, defeated Go Soeda at 2015 Shenzhen for his only ATP main draw victory. The Zhangs are not related. 9) International Man of Mystery: Austrian-born Spaniard Nicola Kuhn s ATP debut comes in China as a wild card at the Shenzhen Open.
