Overview
- The quarterfinal brings a third meeting this season between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Arthur Rinderknech, with the Canadian leading the head-to-head 2–0.
- Auger-Aliassime has not dropped a set in Shanghai and enters on an 11–2 stretch that includes wins over Alejandro Tabilo, Jesper de Jong, and Lorenzo Musetti.
- Rinderknech reached the last eight with victories over Hamad Medjedovic, Alex Michelsen, Alexander Zverev, and Jiri Lehecka after a strong late-summer run.
- Previews broadly predict an Auger-Aliassime win, with some tipping straight sets and noting a suggested handicap play of Auger-Aliassime -3.5 games at bet365.
- Forecasts also weigh the broader quarterfinal slate, with Alex de Minaur viewed as the slight pick against Daniil Medvedev following the Russian’s taxing win over Learner Tien.
