Command Analysis
Stefanos Tsitsipas
GreeceCurrent Form
Tsitsipas outperformed Kei Nishikori with a score of 7-6, 6-4 in the second round of the Shanghai Masters. Stefanos recorded 14 aces, converted one break point and did not drop a single game on his serve. This victory marks Tsitsipas' 12th win on hard courts this season against ten losses.
Professional Qualities
At his best, Tsitsipas plays an aggressive brand of tennis. He possesses a powerful serve and his forehand serves as his primary weapon for quick combinations. However, his defense and one-handed backhand are inconsistent, which presents a vulnerability. Currently, the Greek player is far from his optimal form, and even his strengths are not as pronounced.
Current Tour Statistics
Tsitsipas is the first Greek player to become a Masters champion, achieving this feat three times in Monte Carlo. His best result in Shanghai was reaching the semifinals in 2019. He currently ranks 12th in the world standings.

FranceCurrent Form
Müller secured a victory in the second round of the Masters in Shanghai against Félix Auger-Aliassime with a score of 6-3, 6-2. During the match, Alexander recorded two aces, converted three break points, and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the French player, this was his 11th win on outdoor hard courts this season against 13 losses.
Professional Qualities
Müller's game is built on solid returns and the ability to exhaust his opponents in prolonged rallies. He compensates for his lack of a powerful serve with precision and a variety of shots. By drawing opponents into lengthy exchanges, the Frenchman often looks for opportunities to counterattack.
Current Stats on Tour
Müller has a negative record on hard courts this season. This can be attributed to his greater comfort on clay surfaces. Notably, he has one trophy on clay this season, having won the Challenger in San Marino in August.
