Taylor Fritz vs David Goffin preview
Seventh seed Taylor Fritz will take on David Goffin in the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters.
Trending
With 48 wins from 67 matches so far, Fritz is one of the standout performers on the men's tour this year. He reached the finals of the US Open last month for the first time in his career, but couldn't make a mark against Jannik Sinner. The American has captured two titles so far, the Delray Beach Open and the Eastbourne International.
Fritz entered Shanghai on the back of a first-round exit in Japan Open. He started his campaign with a confident win against Terence Atmane and then outfoxed the likes of Yosuke Watanuki and Hoger Rune en route to the quarterfinals. The 26-year-old hardly put a foot wrong against Rune and defeated him in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.
David Goffin, meanwhile, has had an inspirational season on the men's tour this year. He's chalked up 15 wins from 29 matches, including a semifinal run in the Winston-Salem Open. The Belgian also lifted the title in the ATP Ilkley Challenger, where he defeated Harold Mayot in the finals, 6-4, 6-2.
Goffin entered Shanghai on the back of a third-round exit in the US Open. He outclassed the likes of Lorenzo Musetti and Marcos Giron en route to the fourth round and then stunned Alexander Zverev to secure a place in the last eight. The 33-year-old eliminated Zverev in one hour and 56 minutes, 6-4, 7-5.

Taylor Fritz vs David Goffin prediction
Taylor Fritz is one of the most consistent players on tour this year. He is in pole position to enter the ATP Finals in November and needs a strong result this week to cement his place in Turin. The American will face an unseeded opponent in the next round and will fancy his chances of making the semifinals.
The Belgian, on the other hand, has been rewarded with a quarterfinal berth in Shanghai for his hardwork this year. He made sure to improve his fitness on the ATP Challenger circuit and is now churning out strong results on the main tour. He will still need to keep his focus in the next round against an in-form opponent like Fritz.
The American will be a heavy favorite to come out on top considering his devastating peformance against Rune in the last match. He possesses the tactical maturity against quality players on court and is also one of the best timers of the tennis ball on tour. Goffin will pose a lot of questions at the seventh seed and also force him to think out of the box. However, Fritz should be able to find a solution to those questions and enter the final four in the Shanghai Masters.
Pick: Fritz to win in three sets.
