Trending
Auger-Aliassime commenced his run in Shanghai with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Alejandro Tabilo. He beat Jesper de Jong 6-4, 7-5 to reach the fourth round, where eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti awaited him. The Canadian snagged the only break of the first set and was all over his opponent in the second, breaking twice for a 6-4, 6-2 win.
Rinderknech, meanwhile, lost the first set against Hamad Medjedovic in the first round but advanced after his opponent retired at the start of the second set. He knocked out 28th seed Alex Michelsen in the second round, and staged a comeback to upset third seed Alexander Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the third round.
Rinderknech was up against 15th seed Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round. The Frenchman needed only one break of serve to clinch the opening set. While the second set was more competitive, he gained the upper hand in the tie-break to register a 6-3, 7-6(5) win.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction
Rinderknech has been on a giant-killing spree in Shanghai, taking down seeded players in three consecutive matches en route to his maiden Masters 1000 quarterfinal. He didn't face a break point against Lehecka in the previous round. He has another reason to celebrate, as his cousin Valentin Vacherot has made the semifinals.
Auger-Aliassime has been equally impressive. He hasn't lost a set during the tournament, dropping serve just once across three matches. He erased all three break points that he faced against Musetti and will be the favorite to continue his good run of form against Rinderknech.
Both of their previous encounters took place this year. Auger-Aliassime won their first meeting in Mallorca in straight sets and was on course for another win in Cincinnati when Rinderknech threw in the towel. While the Frenchman is playing some of the best tennis of his career, Auger-Aliassime's recent resurgence, record in this rivalry, and prior experience at this stage should give him the upper hand in this contest.
Pick: Felix Auger-Aliassime to win in straight sets.
