Here are our thoughts on the day&#8217;s action.<\/p>\n<h2>Shanghai Masters Tuesday Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Zhe Li vs Lucas Pouille<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Li is yet another Chinese wild card playing in a Chinese tournament. While these wild cards have done a decent job of acquitting themselves well against superior competition (and they collect a nice paycheck), it&#8217;s very clear that players like Li (or Ze Zhang on Monday) just aren&#8217;t yet equipped to compete at a level with the top players in a Masters tournament.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Pouille in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"-n13Dz65SlBeoPJRA68WYg\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1173567514\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-n13Dz65SlBeoPJRA68WYg',sig:'AeBFSK9gRtPGxx4konFjG3bvVTwpbtg7fwVDLlivVD4=',w:'594px',h:'420px',items:'1173567514',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Alexander Bublik<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Auger-Aliassime is supremely talented and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordontennis.com\/2019\/04\/16\/why-felix-auger-aliassime-will-be-the-greatest-player-of-his-generation\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">will be a top player some day<\/a>. However, he has struggled since Cincinnati this summer. Bublik, meanwhile, is a quirky player that can frustrate even a seasoned veteran. He also is in top form, reaching the final in Chengdu a few weeks ago and coming through qualifying here in Shanghai. I think the rising Canadian star gets upset here.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Bublik in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"YWGnf7naS_lR_ctY8XFylA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1173900346\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'YWGnf7naS_lR_ctY8XFylA',sig:'dknuGa_iHd3DD5jA62BBk5tVrC4EoSRI3lWGl0-a2e0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1173900346',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Gael Monfils vs Hubert Hurkacz<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Monfils has played well in the Asian Swing since the US Open, though his results don&#8217;t really show it. He gets yet another tough draw against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordontennis.com\/2019\/07\/05\/5-reasons-hurkacz-one-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the rising Hurkacz<\/a>, who took out Zhizhen Zhang without too much trouble in the first round.

He came through qualifying and easily beat Diego Schwartzman in the first round. This backs up a strong summer, where <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordontennis.com\/2019\/08\/27\/vasek-pospisil-upsets-khachanov\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he upset Karen Khachanov<\/a> at the US Open. Sousa is also playing well right now, but this indoor hard court suits the Canadian much better.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Pospisil in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"k0qCrh-tQuJWtHUxs16fWA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1174202368\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'k0qCrh-tQuJWtHUxs16fWA',sig:'rf0OKiQLkwsraMgtlJp8bbt2x-0gQF8nkWx7O1B6rn4=',w:'396px',h:'594px',items:'1174202368',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fabio Fognini vs Andy Murray<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordontennis.com\/2019\/07\/04\/andy-murray-return-after-hip-resurfacing-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brit&#8217;s comeback<\/a> continues, slowly but steadily. He is still nowhere near the level he once was, but he&#8217;s getting his way back. These things take time. Fognini is a very good player, but the fast indoor surface doesn&#8217;t suit him so well. I think Murray will frustrate the Italian and pick up the biggest win of his comeback so far at the Shanghai Masters on Tuesday.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Murray in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday at the Shanghai Masters will see both first and second-round action.
