After Alexander Bublik won his semifinal match, Denis Shapovalov and Pablo Carreno-Busta will meet in the second semifinal match.
If any of the players advance, he will definitely be a favorite in the final. Alexander Bublik, who coped with George Harris was certainly not one of the players expected to play in the final. But Bublik is doing a great job at the
Chengdu Open, defeating Fritz, Thompson, and Dimitrov.
Shapovalov has never won an ATP tournament title and is really close to it in China. He defeated Bereankis, Klahn, and Gerasimov and continues the good form he showed at tournaments in the US.
Although Carreno-Busta is the player who prefers clay, this year he played most matches on a hard surface. After tournaments in the USA, where he outplayed John Isner, for example, he played at the Metz tournament, where he managed to defeat David Goffin.
There is no favorite in this match and it will certainly be close, as the H2H record says, when both players have won one match. The last time it was Shapovalov this year in Rome.
