Alexander Zverev vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction
After the US Open, Rinderknech has shown flashes of solid form. He defeated Marin Cilic in the Davis Cup, then came through the Beijing qualifiers before falling in the second round to Alex de Minaur.
In Shanghai, he received a walkover from Hamad Medjedovic after the Serb took the first set and went on to upset 28th seed Alex Michelsen in straight sets to reach the third round.
Zverev, meanwhile, has been steady but not spectacular, winning 6-4, 6-4 against Valentin Royer in his opener. At the end stages of the match, the German even suffered a foot injury, and it is unclear if it would affect his further participation in Shanghai. Despite the injury scare, Zverev is likely to seal the match in three sets.
