Juan Martin del Potro becomes the fourth player to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in London. The Argentine is in the midst of one of the best years of his career and he jumps to 45-13 with two titles on the season after defeating Karen Khachanov 6-4, 7-6(4) to reach the Beijing quarterfinals.

Number of quarterfinals that Denis Shapovalov has reached on the season. The 19-year-old Canadian took out Stan Wawrinka on Wednesday to reach his first at the 500 level. Shapovalov will face Jan-Lennard Struff or Jeremy Chardy in quarterfinal action on Friday at Tokyo.
