THE PREDICTION

World number 23 Nicolas Jarry stunned Stefanos Tsitsipas for the second time this season, in their fourth encounter this year, to continue enjoying the best tennis of his career. The 27-year-old set a career-high of 22nd earlier this month and he can break that with a few more rounds in Beijing with a few players above him not playing this week but this is no gimme against rising star Matteo Arnaldi. 22-year-old Arnaldi conceded just four games in victory over J.J. Wolf on Thursday after qualifying handily this week and he should set a new career-high of his own, around 42nd, for his efforts. The Italian helped drag his nation through to the Davis Cup Finals two years ago to build on the form that saw him reach the round of 16 at the US Open but Jarry is still the more comfortable force in these conditions. Three sets seem likelier than two but Jarry can be backed, tentatively, to find a way through.
