by Steve Ashfield | in ATP Shanghai Masters Predictions
17th seed Valentin Vacherot continues the defence of his Shanghai Masters tournament. The third round will see him face 15th seed Tommy Paul in this outdoor hard court tournament. Vacherot has shown improved form in recent weeks and our prediction is that he will win this match.
In the last 16, the winner will take on either second seed Carlos Alcaraz or unseeded Zizou Bergs.
Valentin Vacherot was the shock winner of this tournament last year after having to qualify to get into the main draw. He is the world number 17, but down at 32nd in the live rankings due to the points he's defending. In the run up to this tournament, he was a semi-finalist in Tokyo.
His one match in this tournament saw him beat Sebastian Baez in straight sets.
Tommy Paul was two places above his opponent in the latest rankings. He has reached one outdoor hard court final this year in Delray Beach. He also made it to the last four in Adelaide and two other quarter-finals, but his form in recent weeks hasn't been good.
He'd lost his last two matches including winning just three games against Alejandro Tabilo.
Round two here saw him beat Adolfo Daniel Vallejo in straight sets.
