THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Max Purcell comes into the Shanghai Masters at a career-high ATP world ranking of 43rd after an excellent hardcourt swing so far. The Aussie grafted hard on the Challenger circuit earlier this season to vastly improve his ranking and then reaped the rewards on the big stages with a solid run to the third round of the Canada Masters usurped by a remarkable run to the quarter-finals in Cincinnati, where he beat Casper Ruud and Stan Wawrinka before a three-set defeat to Carlos Alcaraz. World number 183 Yu Hsiou Hsu should not be underestimated after he stunned Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first round of the US Open in late August but the 24-year-old should struggle in this first encounter with a more confident Purcell. Hsu qualified well this week to bring some momentum but Purcell should be able to snap a three-match losing streak with an outright win here.
