16th seed Brandon Nakashima takes on 19th-seeded Alexander Bublik in round three of the Shanghai Masters. This is an outdoor hard court tournament and Nakashima has been in good form on this surface in 2026. That has led us to make a prediction that Nakashima will win this match and reach the last 16.
For the winner, there's a fourth round match against either top seed Alexander Zverev or unseeded Quentin Halys.
Brandon Nakashima beat Matteo Berrettini in straight sets in his opening match in this Masters tournament. He won that 7-6 7-5
He has won 23 of his 34 outdoor hard court matches this year with two finals reached and three other semi-final appearances.
Alexander Bublik has a 12-6 record on this surface in 2026. However, he won seven of his first eight outdoor hard court matches this year, winning the Hong Kong title and then reaching round four of the Australian Open. Since those good runs, this is only the third time he's reached round three of an outdoor hard court
Recent tournaments have seen Bublik lose three successive matches (one indoors in the Laver Cup).
That run ended in his opening match in Shanghai as he beat Tomas Machac 6-4 7-6.
