THE PREDICTION
World number 52 Aslan Karatsev enjoyed a rare strong week in Zhuhai last time out, stunning second seed Cam Norrie to reach the semi-finals after tough wins over Matteo Arnaldi and Andy Murray. The 30-year-old set a career-high ATP world ranking of 14th early last season and he is still occasionally capable of that level, as April’s run to the semi-finals of the Madrid Masters attests to, but consistency and confidence appear to be his main issues. World number 70 Quentin Halys has enjoyed his best season on tour with some herculean efforts against the likes of Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner ending in tight defeats. The 26-year-old brings a three-match losing streak into his Shanghai debut – five defeats on the spin including challenger events – to suggest confidence is low here and that should see Karatsev avoid an early exit. Back the Russian to win outright.
