Prediction published on 10/10/2023, 08:21  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 10/10/2023 at 19:15 in ATP Rolex Shanghai Masters Prediction

Ugo Humbert, 32nd seed, and unseeded J.J Wolf will on Wednesday meet in the fourth round at the Shanghai Masters. Ugo Humbert secured a big win in the last round as he defeated world number five Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets. It was his second top-10 victory in the space of two weeks and will have him confident of getting past this round. Humbert, who is making his Shanghai debut, has a 40-23 record and has won 16 of 26 matches on hard courts. He is up one place to 33rd in the live ranking. Humbert defeated Wolf in the qualifying rounds at Indian Wells four seasons ago.

Wolf, like Humbert, is making his Shanghai debut. This is also the furthest that the American has ever gone in a Masters 1000 tournament. He defeated Matteo Arnaldi in the last round, coming from a set down to win in three. It was the second time in the tournament that he had been forced into a comeback. Wolf has struggled this year and has won just six more matches than he has lost. He has compiled a 28-22 record and has won 16 of the 28 matches he has played on hard courts. Despite his success in Shanghai, Wolf has dropped seven places in the live ranking to number 58. The winner here will proceed to play either 12th seed Tommy Paul or fifth seed Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals.
