3 Key match details

It’s been a while since these two players faced each other for the last time, and things have dramatically changed since then.

Taylor Fritz 2-0 @ 11/20 (1.55)

Fritz has been among the top 10 players for a while now, a ranking that is just a memory for Schwartzman. The surface in Shanghai is a perfect fir for the American and something that Schwartzman does not enjoy playing in. Fritz will be able to fully take advantage of his strong serve in this match and Schwartzman won’t be capable of winning a set.

Under 20.5 games @ 17/20 (1.85)

The previous three matches between these two players ended in straight sets and that will be the scenario in this one as well. Fritz will take control of the match early on and make early breaks in both sets to close things out in under 20.5 games in total.

Can Schwartzman get back into the top 100?

Not that long ago, Schwartzman found his place among the top 10 players in the ATP rankings and today he is not even among the top 100. The Argentinian had a major fall in his career and he was not able to return where he belonged. However, there are still many tournaments this season and Schwartzman can at least get back among the top 100.
