THE PREDICTION
World number nine Casper Ruud put in a decent run at the China Open before a straight-sets defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals. The 24-year-old looked strong in the opening set against the Spaniard but put up less fight in the second as he continues to struggle for the sort of form that saw him finish runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals late last season. World number 48 Yoshihito Nishioka overcame Daniel Altmaier in three sets on Wednesday to get ahis Shanghai campaign underway and he will receive the lion’s share of the support here as the Asian player with some strong form behind him. Nishioka finished runner-up to Karen Khachanov at the Zhuhai Championships last week and he beat Ruud in three sets last year en-route to his previous final, where he won a second ATP title at the Korea Open. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record with Ruud winning at least a set in both matches. Take the Norwegian to do so again here inside an accumulator or take the same option for Nishioka on its own.
