THE PREDICTION

World number three Daniil Medvedev put in an excellent run to the China Open this week before a shock defeat to Jannik Sinner in the final, losing his first match to the Italian in two tiebreaks. The 27-year-old should bounce back well in this Shanghai opener as the defending champion from four years ago, returning older, wiser and with a career total of 20 ATP titles to his name after earning another five this season. Former world number 17 Cristian Garin avoided an early upset against Aleksandar Kovacevic on Wednesday but the Chilean has failed to win back-to-back matches since making the third round of the Italian Open in May. Medvedev picked up his most recent ATP title that week in Rome, a first on clay to finally complete the set of surfaces, and he is one of the very best in these conditions. Back Medvedev to win through in straight sets.
