THE PREDICTION

World number 26 Sebastian Korda stunned Daniil Medvedev in straight sets on Sunday to back-up his best win of the season over the Russian at the Australian Open back in January. This result could be the making of the American’s next season after injury scuppered his progress the first time around in Melbourne but Korda needs to develop a way to win the simpler matches easier on tour with a clear penchant for the big stage. World number 21 Francisco Cerundolo has enjoyed the best season of his career by doing just that, steadily beating the players ranked below him and occasionally upsetting someone above him – just as he did against Tommy Paul to win his second ATP title at the Eastbourne International in June.

Korda finished runner-up to Adrian Mannarino at the Astana Open last week, from a set down, and that vulnerability makes backing him with any confidence against Cerundolo’s more dependable game very hard. The shrewd move could be taking Cerundolo, who has fought well so far in Shanghai, to earn at least a set to leave the result of this first meeting up to chance.
