Round two of the Shanghai Masters sees 28th seed Alex Michelsen face unseeded Arthur Rinderknech. They are playing for the right to take on either third seed Alexander Zverev or qualifier Valentin Royer in round three. Time for our match prediction.
Alex Michelsen is 34th in the live rankings, four places below his career-high. This is the second time he's played in this outdoor hard court tournament, losing to Novak Djokovic at this stage last year.
The 21-year-old has been struggling for wins in recent tournaments. He's bidding here to avoid a fifth successive defeat, all on this surface. Michelsen has a 14-14 hard court record for 2025 with one semi-final reached and two other quarter-finals.
Arthur Rinderknech was fortunate in his first round win over Hamad Medjedovic. He lost the first set but his opponent then retired early in the second. That win has taken the Frenchman to 54th in both the live and ATP Race rankings.
It's been a struggle for him on hard courts this year with a 10-16 record. Only twice this year has he made it past this stage of an ATP Tour hard court tournament. His best run came in the US Open when making it to round four.
We tip Michelsen to win this match.
