There are only three all-way seed matches on the third round in the upper half of the Shanghai-Draw, including Jiri Lehecka vs. Denis Shapovalov and Daniil Medvedev vs. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Those four boys will court on Monday.
(23) Denis Shapovalov vs. (15) Jiri Lehecka
Lehecka and Shapovalov will give up for the third time in their career when they meet in round three of the Rolex Shanghai Masters on Monday. They have divided their two earlier encounters, both on inside hard courts; Lehecka the prevail had 6-4, 6-4 at the Rotterdam tournament 2022 before Shapovalov drove 6-2 last season, 6-1 in Belgrade.
Consistency is not exactly one of the forte of these players, but Lehecka has yielded a series of impressive results that came in the 2025 piece. The 19th rank of the Czech Czech Czech reached the fourth round in both Toronto and Cincinnati, made a quarterfinals run at the US, defeated Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiaf in Davis Cup qualifications in the United States, and opened it in Shanghai with a straight set of the set of the set of the set of the set of the set. Defeat of Quentin Halys. Shapovalov is so far 1-1 on the Asian swing with an immediate loss in Tokyo against Daniel Altmaier and a 6-3, 6-2 routes of Christopher O’Connell on Saturday. The 24th ranking will bring the flair, but Lehecka must be too solid.
Pick: Lehecka in 3
Student Ten versus (30) Cameron Norrie
Ten has to run on vapors, especially given the extremely humid conditions in Shanghai. The 19-year-old American is 6-1 in his last seven games that go back to Beijing and in five of those six wins he returned from a set to win in three. After his second place last week (lost to Jannik Sinner), ten is immediately back in gear to beat Miomir Kecmanovic (4-6, 6-3, 6-4) and Corentin Moutet (4-6, 6-4, 6-4).
Next for the World No. 36 On Monday, a third confrontation against Norrie is after having split their first two games, both on outdoor hard courts. Norrie received the job 6-3, 7-5 done at the start of this season in Hong Kong; Tien got away with a 7-6 (5), 6-3 Success in Acapulco. The 33rd rank in Broot survived an in-shape Arthur Cazaux in a third set of Tiebreaker on Saturday, improving his record for the year to a respectable 27-22. This will be an energy sapping match between two left-handed people who are more than happy to play debiling baseline rallies. Given the heavy workload of ten of recent times, Norrie will probably have the lead.
Pick: Norrie in 3
