Alexander Bublik vs Valentin Vacherot prediction
Alexander Bublik will want to put his first-round loss in Beijing down to just being a blip by kicking-on again in Shanghai.
The Kazakhstani’s sensational run of late saw him pick up a third tour-level title – his fourth of the year – in a matter of months with an excellent showing in Hangzhou.
However, the world number 17 looked like his exploits had caught up with him in an emphatic loss to qualifier Adrian Mannarino last time out.
Qualifier Valentin Vacherot will aim to test the seed’s appetite after following up some battling wins in qualifying with a dominant 6-3 6-4 triumph over Laslo Djere in the first round.
This will be the world number 204’s first encounter with Bublik and it is going to be a tall order.
It’s very likely the loss in Beijing was largely down to fatigue for the Kazakhstani and if he hits anywhere near his recent level, he’ll be way too strong on the day.
Alexander Bublik vs Valentin Vacherot tip: Alexander Bublik to win 2-0
