The 22-year-old reached the quarterfinals in Tokyo last week, and will be desperate to perform even better in Shanghai. A winner of two hard court titles, including a Masters-1000 in Paris, Rune has won 81% service games on hard courts this year. Although his only title came at the Barcelona Open, the Danish prodigy also reached the final of Indian Wells in March.
