We'll have an unseeded player in the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters. That's because in round three of this outdoor hard court tournament, unseeded Nuno Borges faces wild card Juncheng Shang. Read our match prediction below.
Whoever wins this match will face either seventh-seeded Alex de Minaur or unseeded Kamil Majchrzak in the fourth round.
Nuno Borges has so far beaten Botic van de Zandschulp and Aleksandar Vukic in this tournament. The world number 51 is yet to drop a set but three of his four sets have been decided by a tie-break. A side bet on one in this match may well be successful.
The 28-year-old has made it to one ATP Tour hard court semi-final this year. That was in Auckland back in January.
Juncheng Shang also made it to a semi-final in January, doing so in Hong Kong. Then he twice had to retire from matches and didn't play again until July. That's caused him to slip out of the top 200 in the rankings.
Shang has only played 13 matches in 2025 and has won six of them. This is only the second time this year that he's got past round two of a tournament. Wins have come against Aleksandar Kovacevic (in three sets) and then a good win over ninth-seeded Karen Khachanov.
We tip over 21.5 games to be played.
