Jannik Sinner became a triumphant winner of the tournament in Beijing, and at the moment, the Italian is the 4th racket in the world. In the final competition in China's capital, Jannik defeated the third racket of the world, Daniil Medvedev, in two sets on two tie-breaks. In Shanghai, Sinner defeated Hiron in two games and Baez in three sets. The match against Baez lasted just over two hours, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in favor of the Italian. During the game, Jannik served eight times without a double fault, winning 82% of the points on the first serve and 50% on the second.

Shelton became the 2023 US Open champion and reached the semifinals of the major. At the end of September, Ben played for the World Team at the Laver Cup, where he beat Fils. In Shanghai, Ben had two matches and two wins over Munar and Safiullin. The match against Roman, where Ben was the underdog, lasted two hours and 9 minutes. Ben won the match 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. During the match, Shelton served 5 times with three double faults and won 81% of the points on the first serve and 52% on the second. Return statistics: 30%/41%, winners/ unforced errors 28/16.

A top player is a bit overrated. We should remember that Jannick played some tough matches last week and won the tournament in Beijing. The Italian has two wins in Shanghai, but he had to play three sets against Baez, and the Argentine is not the strongest hardcourt player in the world. Ben has improved a lot lately. We are on the side of the underdog.
