Qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka bids to continue his good run in the Shanghai Masters. Round two sees him with the difficult task of getting past the 13th seed Andrey Rublev. Can he cause a shock? Here’s our match prediction.
The winner of this match will take on either unseeded Jaume Munar or 11th seed Flavio Cobolli who recently beat Rublev in Beijing.
Nishioka had lost nine successive matches before this outdoor hard court tournament. He has returned to form with two qualifying wins and then beating Alexander Shevchenko in round one.
He’s 173rd in the live rankings and is making only his second appearance in round two of this tournament, never getting any further.
Andrey Rublev is the world number 14 and has a 20-14 hard court record this year. He has lost his last three matches so will be looking to go deep here after being the losing finalist two years ago.
The 27-year-old won the Doha hard court title earlier this year. He’s also made it to two hard court semi-finals with three other last eight appearances.
Rublev leads Nishioka 3-2 in previous meetings, 2-2 on this surface. The Japanese player last beat him three years ago with the other win coming in 2019. We tip Rublev to win in straight sets.
