Command Analysis
Juncheng Shang
ChinaCurrent form
Shang lost to Luc Van Assche (3-4, 2-4, 1-4, 3-4) in the first round of the Next Gen ATP Finals group stage. In the match against the Frenchman, Chongcheng served seven aces, converted two break points and lost two games on his serve. The Chinese tennis player has two wins in six matches indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Shang is a technical and mobile baseliner who feels confident on the baseline. His fast feet allow him to reach difficult balls and effectively run under the left side, because his forehand is his main weapon. The left-handed forehand with powerful topspin allows the Chinese to skillfully control rallies and finish them with winners. However, his two-handed backhand is not yet effective enough. In the high-speed conditions of indoor courts, Chungchen lacks physical power: his serve is accurate, but rarely brings aces or easy points.

Shan has an ATP title under his belt this season. He won the Chengdu tournament, his first ATP title in his career. The Chinese player is in the top 50 in the world rankings.
