Early on Thursdayfor those in the US, Daniel Vallejo will make a first ever appearance at the ATP event in Shanghai, where he will be up against the lower-ranked Valentin Royer. The French competitor is playing at this event for a second time. In 2025, he made his debut, reaching the second round. Will he do better? Or will he crash out at the first hurdle?
The early market tells us that Daniel Vallejo is a relatively strong favorite, but we could easily argue that he ought to be the subject of stronger market support. In recent weeks, the Paraguayan has performed very well against lower-ranked players, while his opponent is not exactly someone who arrives in fine form, losing three of his last four matches against, all of which have come against higher-ranked individuals.

Our Adolfo Daniel Vallejo vs Valentin Royer Prediction
On recent form, it's easy to see why Daniel Vallejo is the early favorite ahead of this contest. He may never have played at this event, but he arrives in hot form having reached the quarters in Tokyo recently, while he's up against a player who has a very poor recent record against those ranked markedly above him, as Vallejo is.
All in all, there's enough evidence to conclude that the world number 52 has a slightly stronger chance of beating the world number 105 than the early odds would have us believe.
