Daniil Medvedev is looking for revenge against the Nemesis student of 2025 on Wednesday in the fourth round of Shanghai on Wednesday. Lorenzo Musetti will also be in action against a reviving Felix Auger-Aliassy.
(16) Daniil Medvedev vs. student ten
At the start of this season, the Ten Ten burst at the Australian Open. The 19-year-old American teenager fought his way up through the qualification and made the round of 16. Ironically, he defeated Daniil Medvedev in Melbourne. He also beat the wrestling Russian in the semi-finals of Beijing Ilast Week, giving him a remarkable 2-0 right-to-head record. Tien has passed an inconsistent season since then. He was almost Winless on Clay (1-6) and came across Novak Djokovic in the first round of the US Open. However, he arrived this fall, with a quarter -final result in Hangzhou, a final appearance in Beijing, and at least a fourth round shown in this Rolex Shanghai Masters. Ten is in a career-high 36th in the world.
Medvedev has had a difficult year. The 16th seed took losses in the first round with every major and the one -off world no. 1 is now number 18. Medvedev had a fitness issue against ten in Beijing last week and forced him to withdraw with serious cramps. In any case, he managed to post a few straight set victories on Dalibor SVRCina and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina earlier these two weeks. With more heat, humidity and folding slow courts, Medvedev may be vulnerable against ten before the second tournament in a row.

(8) Lorenzo Musetti vs. (12) Felix Auger-Aliassy
Felix Auger-Aliassime had an impressive revival at the US Open last month. De Wereld No. 13 played inspired tennis for two top 10 players (Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur) and World No. 15 to disrupt Andrey Rublev. Shanghai is the first tournament of the Canadian since his semi -final in New York City.
He will take the familiar enemy Lorenzo Musetti on Wednesday. The Italian opened the quarters in the US, but unlike Auger-Aliassime, he has played a lot of tennis since then. Musetti has a scarce 4-3 record in the head-to-head, but he has won their two most recent competitions-included a three-set success at the Miami Masters earlier this season. Musetti was forced to retire last week in Beijing. He played well enough in Shanghai, but fatigue can start a factor. The slow courts can neutralize some weapons of Auger-Aliassime, but this time I give the nod to the Canadian.
