Contents
Auger-Aliassime had a slight downfall this season, and he really needs to win this match. Knowing how big of a competitor Fucsovics is, that will not be easy at all.
Marton Fucsovics +2.5 @ 17/20 (1.85)
Auger-Aliassime lost 3 of the last 4 matches, and his confidence is not on the desired level going to Shanghai. This will be his first match in the tournament, while Fucsovics had a chance to feel the court two days ago. There is no doubt that the Canadian has been more successful on the tour, but with the ups and downs he had all season long, Fucsovics has a standing chance in this match. The Hungarian is a big fighter and can hold his serve for a long time, which will eventually put him in a situation to cover the +2.5 games spread.

The stakes are high for both players in this match which will get the best out of them. The are both very fast and are ready to fight for every point and all that in combination with the solid serves they have, will take the opening set over 10.5 games in total.
