Prediction published on 07/10/2026, 08:35  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 07/10/2026 at 09:32 in ATP Shanghai Masters Predictions

Cameron Norrie has a change of opponent in the first round of the outdoor hard court Shanghai Masters. Denis Shapovalov has withdrawn and instead Norrie faces qualifier Dalibor Svrcina. His opponent is ranked 86 places below Norrie. Our prediction therefore is that Norrie will win this match.

Round two of this Masters tournament will see the winner take on 28th-seeded Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

In his most recent tournament, Norrie was beaten by Alexander Zverev in straight sets, but he did take ten games off the world number two.

Norrie is the world number 40, compared to Svrcina's 126th. In the ATP Live Race, Norrie is 52nd, 65 places above his opponent.

The British number one has reached one outdoor hard court semi-final in Los Cabos this year, and the Indian Wells quarter-finals.

Dalibor Svrcina has already beaten one British player in this tournament. He defeated Billy Harris in the first qualifying round, but only after losing the opening set.

He then faced Yoshihito Nishioka, who retired when 2-5 down in the first set.

Before this tournament, Svrcina had lost his last two matches, one on the Challenger Tour.

2026 has seen him win 16 of his 30 matches on this surface with one quarter-final reached in Los Cabos.
