THE PREDICTION

This could be an enthralling clash between two unorthodox players who have found some encouraging form this week. Former world number 14 Aslan Karatsev came back from a set down in each of his first two matches against up-and-coming Matteo Arnaldi and Andy Murray before a tight straight sets victory over Cam Norrie on Sunday to look the favourite on results here but Yoshihito Nishioka won their only previous encounter at the Paris Masters last season. The 27-year-old set a career-high ATP world ranking of 24th in June built on some insatiable form her found this time last season and a straight-sets win over Jan-Lennard Struff on Sunday was his second against a raw power after he ousted Lloyd Harris in the round of 16. The Japanese should receive most of the support as the Asian player here in Zhuhai, as he did en-route to the Korea Open title this time last season, but take Karatsev to earn at least a set given his momentum.
