The former world no.19 – Pablo Cuevas – hopes to rediscover top form in Shanghai. Known as one of the best clay-court players in the game, Cuevas already won six ATP World Tour titles on red-clay throughout his career. On the other hand, the Uruguayan is far from an expert on Hard Court with a poor 36.36% winning record on this surface in 2017. Despite his lack of success, Cuevas is slowly returning to his best level with a good performance last week in Beijing against Juan Martin Del Potro.
Jared Donaldson continues his impressive run in 2017. At the age of 20, Donaldson is going through the best moment in his career with a terrific 14 – 9 record since the Aegon International in Eastbourne. Adding to this, the American is also on the verge of booking a spot on the ATP Next Gen Finals in Milan. Known as a big match player, Donaldson holds an outstanding 61.90% winning record this season on ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events.
Due to Pablo’s poor results in recent months, it’s not surprising to see Jared as the favourite to win this match at 61/100 at Pinnacle. On the other hand, William Hill offers 8/5 for the Uruguayan’s victory. Even though we agree with Donaldson’s favouritism, it’s impossible to ignore Cuevas’ performance against Del Potro in Beijing. With this in mind, our recommendation is for you to place a bet on the Over 22 at 93/100 at Pinnacle as the most valuable play for this encounter.
