THE PREDICTION

Jannik Sinner comes into the Shanghai Masters at a career-high ATP world ranking of fourth after beating Daniil Medvedev in two tight tiebreaks on Wednesday to lift the China Open trophy, claiming a first win over the Russian in seven attempts. The 22-year-old was sick mid-match against Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals but he barely looked back from that moment, stunning Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets in the semi-finals to take a 4-3 lead in their fiercely-contested head-to-head. Sinner won his first Masters title in Toronto in August to maintain a steady rise up the rankings but he lost in his following match in Cincinnati to leave the door slightly ajar for Marcos Giron here. World number 80 Giron has played some strong tennis in recent weeks, beating Stan Wawrinka in three sets at the Astana Open last week before a defeat to Dominic Thiem in as tight a circumstance, and it would not be a huge surprise to see him snatch a set in this first encounter. Back Sinner to win outright or consider a one off on Giron to do so, with the first set a particularly tempting option.
