Stan Wawrinka will take on Fabian Marozsan in the first round of the Shanghai Masters.

Wawrinka is still going strong at the age of 40. After early exits in Melbourne, Rotterdam, and Marseille, he reached the last 16 in Bucharest and Umag. The Swiss also reached the finals in Rennes (Challenger), but lost to Hugo Gaston in straight sets.

Wawrinka will enter Shanghai after a semifinal run in Saint-Tropez (Challenger). After cruising past Robin Bertrand and Martin Landaluce, he was eliminated by Dan Added in the semifinals (walkover win). The former World No. 3 will be eager to impress in the Shanghai Masters.

Marozsan will enter Shanghai after a quarterfinal exit in Beijing. He started his campaign by cruising past Benjamin Bonzi and Alexandre Muller, but lost to Jannik Sinner in the last eight. The Italian defeated him in straight sets, 6-1, 7-5.

Stan Wawrinka vs Fabian Marozsan prediction

Wawrinka has kept himself busy by competing on the ATP Challenger circuit in the last few months. He's more than capable of giving Marozsan a run for his money in the first round. The former Grand Slam champion needs to begin well to have a say in this bout.

On the other hand, Marozsan would've expected more from himself this year. He has the skill set to compete at the top level, but needs to approach matches with a better plan in place. The Hungarian has a powerful all-around game and uses his groundstrokes to good effect.

Wawrinka has looked sharp on the Challenger circuit, but dealing with Marozsan's intensity will still be a daunting task in Shanghai. He is most likely to come up short against the Hungarian in the first round.

Pick: Marozsan to win in three sets.
