Ninth seed Karen Khachanov gets his Shanghai Masters campaign underway. The Russian faces wild card Juncheng Shang in the second round of this outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
For the winner of this match, their third round opponent will be either 24th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas or unseeded Nuno Borges.
Khachanov was tenth in the latest ranking list and is 15th in the Live Race. He'd need to go deep here and in the Paris Masters if he wants to make it into the ATP Tour FInals. The 29-year-old has a 13-10 hard court record this year, his best run being getting to the Canadian Open in August.
He's lost his last two matches and in completed best-of-three sets matches, five of his last six have seen over 21.5 games played.
Juncheng Shang received a wild card to play in this Masters tournament. He had a tough opening match and needed three sets to defeat Alexander Kovacevic. That was only his 12th match of the year and fifth victory after losing his last two matches.
He had to retire from two matches in January and then didn't play again until July. As a result he's slipped down to 232nd in the live rankings.
We tip over 21.5 games to be played.

Both players have suffered a recent dip in form. Karen Khachanov was in great form during the North American hard court season but hasn't played so well recently with a recent three-set loss to Alexandre Muller in Beijing.
It's been a difficult year for Juncheng Shang. He missed six months due to injury after a couple of retirements in January. He's lacked consistency since making his comeback. Our Karen Khachanov v Juncheng Shang prediction is over 21.5 games to be played.
