World number 26 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will take on world number eight Frances Tiafoe in the Chinese city of Shanghai on Sunday. The pair will come together for a fifth time, with Tiafoe winning three of the previous four clashes. Both players should take to the court feeling upbeat, with coming off the back of straight-set victories last time out. Interestingly, Spaniard have a decent record of reaching the final of this event, with four Spanish appearances (from three different players) in the final since 2009. Could Davidovich Fokina follow in those footsteps?
he performance that Frances Tiafoe delivered last time out, especially late on in the match, was impressive, so much so that the US competitor rates as a stronger bet to win this than the early market predicts. At the time of writing, the current world number eight is a best price of -105 to come out on top, but all things considered, he should really be priced closer to -133.
