Not for the first time in the last few months, Jenchung Shang and Kei Nishikori will clash. This time it's at the ATP event in Hong Kong on Saturday, and early in the morning for those viewing on US soil. Given his recent run, winning each of his last eight hard-court matches, taking the title in Helsinki before Christmas, Nishikori is the narrow favorite here, but is that right? Sure, the Japanese player has been on a great run, but Shang is far from a poor player, while he too has looked strong in Hong Kong, so much so that he looks a little generously priced to grab the win.
