Juan Martin Del Potro

Everyone probably knows this already: Delpo is back to his old dominant self. He claimed the silver medal for Argentina in the Rio Olympics, exited as a quarterfinalist in the US Open and has won 22 of his 32 matches overall this year.

However, the 28-year-old Argentine has yet to hoist an ATP title since 2014, a drought which could come to an end at this year’s Shanghai Rolex Masters. Del Potro settled for a runner-up finish after a thrilling finals encounter with Djokovic back in the 2013 edition of this tournament.

Tomas Berdych

More than half of Berdych’s match victories this season have been on the hard courts, something that should give him an extra boost of confidence heading into Shanghai. The 31-year-old Czech will also be fresh off a successful run at Shenzhen, where he defeated Richard Gasquet in the final, 7-6(5), 6-7(2), 6-3, to win his first title of the year. Expect Berdych to carry and build on that momentum as well.

Lucas Pouille

Pouille might be a future World No. 1. It’s been a breakout season for the young Frenchman, who went on an epic run at the US Open and captured his first-ever ATP title at Metz last month. Putting into mind those recent successes, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Pouille impress us even more in Shanghai. He’s coming off an early loss to Grigor Dimitrov at the on-going Beijing Open, though.
