Shapovalov and Shan will meet in the first round of the tournament in Basel on October 22.

Command Analysis
Denis Shapovalov
CanadaCurrent form
Shapovalov last took to the court in an official match in early October. Then he took part in the Masters in Shanghai, which the Canadian left after the second round, losing to Ben Shelton. On indoor hard courts, Denis has four wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Shapovalov is an attacking tennis player who always uses aggressive tactics. He has a powerful serve and strong shots from both sides, which allows him to dominate the court. However, this strategy is not without risks, and unforced errors have often become his Achilles heel, especially in the last two seasons.
Current indicators in the tour
Shapovalov is currently ranked 95th in the world, although the Canadian was once in the top 10. This season, Denis has a positive balance of wins and losses, but he still has not played a single semi-final this year.
Interesting facts for betting
Shapovalov has won seven of his last ten matches.
Juncheng Shang
ChinaCurrent form
Shang has not played a single match on indoor hard courts this season. The 19-year-old Chinese tennis player played his last match at the Shanghai Masters, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the second round.
Professional qualities
Shan is a left-hander who uses strong topspin to wear down opponents and find weak spots in their defense. He is fast and reliable on the return, but lacks natural power, which is especially important on fast surfaces. In indoor courts where serve and power strokes are key, his chances of success are slim.
Current indicators in the tour
Shang is having a good season. This year, we recall, Chungchen won his first ATP title - he won the competition in Chengdu, in the final of which the Chinese tennis player beat Lorenzo Musetti. Shang, we recall, is in 47th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Shan has failed his last five matches on indoor hard courts.

2.34Tip and bets
Shapovalov looks like a more preferable option in this pair. After all, on indoor hard courts, powerful shots come to the fore, which are exactly what Denis has in his arsenal. But Shan has no such shots in his arsenal - moreover, the last five indoor matches ended in defeat for the Chinese tennis player.
Our forecast is Shapovalov victory at odds of 2.06
Bet on total
Shapovalov has a slight advantage in this pair due to his powerful play, but we don't think Denis will have an easy fight. Shan is capable of creating problems for the Canadian, and therefore we expect this match to be drawn out.
The second forecast is total over 22 games for odds of 1.84
Bet on the first set
Four of Shan last five matches have seen the first set go to more than 9.5 games. We expect Chungchen upcoming match against Shapovalov to also start with a top-heavy first set.
Forecast - total over 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.61
