Tsitsipas
Stefanos came through 2 tough matches in Shanghai against Gael Monfils (7-6 4-6 6-4) and Karen Khachanov (6-4 7-6). The Greek is aiming at having a very deep run in Shanghai to have a chance to qualify to London.
Anderson
Ranked no.8, Kevin had a much easier week so far in Shanghai than his upcoming opponent, since he didn’t play in the first round because he had a bye and he defeated Mikhail Kukushkin 6-3 6-2 in the 2nd round.
H2H Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Kevin Anderson
The head to head is 2-0 for the Greek that has recently defeated Kevin in the Toronto semifinal 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (7).
The favorite
Even if Stefanos has a positive record against the South African, Anderson is probably the favorite to win this 3rd round.
