Verdasco, Fernando - Shang, Juncheng

AO qualification

Veteran but still in good form and 16th seed Verdasco meets the Chinese Shang. Well, here I am going only with Verdasco, who has already proven his superiority against Serdarusic and even after losing the first set, he managed to deal with the Croatian. Shang was not the favorite in the first round but defeated his opponent in 2 sets. In the first match, Shang served only 58% of the ball in the first serve, so in reality every second serve ended with 2 serves, so the Spaniard has to attack the Chinese here. Both tennis players do not have good serves, in which case Verdasco's advantage increases even more, especially when the Spaniard is completely superior in all aspects of tennis. Verdasco plays with extra motivation in tournaments like this and here I expect the Spaniard to cope with the Chinese, whose form is not good
