THE PREDICTION
29-year-old Christopher O’Connell set a career-high ATP world ranking of 53rd this time last month as he continues to enjoy the bets, most consistent form of his life. The Aussie took a set from eventual runner-up Daniil Medvedev at the US Open, and for a second time this season, before defeat in the second round but he took that form into a spotless title-winning campaign at a Challenger event here in Shanghai to look a threat to the early rounds. World number 68 Botoc van de Zandschulp is enduring a tough season so far and he is capable of much better tennis than his current deflated ranking suggests. The 27-year-old stunned Tommy Paul at the Davis Cup last month to help the Netherlands through to the finals but his results on the main tour have been erratic at best. O’Connell beat Van de Zandschulp from a set down to win their only previous encounter at the Marrakech Open in April and at this moment in time he can be backed to reach the second round.
