Seventh seed Denis Shapovalov has only played in the Chengdu Open twice. His previous appearance was in 2019 and as then, he has made it to the last four and takes on fifth-seeded Hubert Hurkacz. Looking at recent matches and previous meetings, our prediction here is more than 22.5 games.
Hubert Hurkacz is making his debut in this outdoor hard court ATP 250 tournament. This is his first singles semi-final on this surface in 2026, though he did win the United Cup team tournament with Poland. To reach the last four, he has had three wins, two had more than 22.5 games played with a couple of tie-breaks.
He leads Shapovalov 5-1 in previous meetings (4-1 on this surface) and the last three have seen a tie-break played.
Denis Shapovalov was 50th in the latest rankings, just four places below Hurkacz.
The Canadian is hoping to reach his second ATP Tour outdoor hard court final, previously having done so in Los Cabos. He won his first two matches of this week in straight sets with victories over Tallon Griekspoor and Vit Kopriva. It was tougher in the quarter-finals as he came from a set down to defeat Adrian Mannarino.
More than 22.5 games have been played in three of his last four matches played over this format.
