Serving up a masterpiece

One of the venue's main practice courts was also upgraded with a 1,400-seat stand to allow fans an intimate view of the world's best-hitting players in practice.

The practice stadium has not only been enjoyed by fans, but also players like Holger Rune, who made his first Shanghai quarterfinal this year.

"It's nice for players to have a nice match court to train on and to get some practice in a more comfortable setting," said Rune.
