Round two of the outdoor hard court Shanghai Masters sees 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli take on unseeded Jaume Munar. The winner will be up against either 13th seed Andrey Rublev or qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka in round three. Here's our match prediction.

Flavio Cobolli is 22nd in the live rankings but his best results this year have come on clay and grass. On hard courts, the Italian has won only nine of his 24 matches. That's compared to last year when he won 30 matches on this surface.

The 23-year-old did have a good win over Andrey Rublev in the recent tournament played in Beijing before losing to Learner TIen in round two. His best run on hard courts this year was when reaching round four of August's Canadian Open.

Jaume Munar had lost three successive matches and a fourth looked likely when he lost the first set of his round one match here. The Spaniard fought back to defeat Marton Fucsovics in three sets.

The 28-year-old is now 41st in the live rankings and a 16-11 hard court record this year. August saw him reach the last eight in Winston Salem and then the fourth round of the US Open. We tip him to win this match.
