LiontipsShang vs Bublik. ATP Chengdu Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Shan continues to crush his opponents. At his home tournament, Kei Nishikori and Roman Safiullin fell under the hot hand of the representative of China. There were no problems with the Japanese, because he was beaten in two sets. But to defeat the representative of Russia, Junchen had to play three sets.
Shan took advantage of the support of the stands and reached the quarter-finals of the home competition.
Professional qualities
Shan has already managed to prove that speed is considered his main asset. His lightning-fast movements around the court baffle many opponents. However, such a manner is considered dangerous, since the Chinese representative often gets injured.
