Casper Ruud vs Christopher Eubanks: Shanghai Masters 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Casper Ruud made a strong start to his Shanghai Masters debut, securing a second-round victory after receiving a first-round bye. However, it’s important to consider the context of this win as his opponent, Yoshihito Nishioka, has a history of inconsistency when things don’t go his way. Ruud’s performance on hard courts in 2023 has been marked by struggles with confidence. Last week in Beijing, he managed to reach the quarterfinals, a notable achievement given his difficulties on this surface. However, those victories were hard-earned, with challenging matches against Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Jan Lennard Struff. Despite earlier successes in hardcourt Masters events, Ruud has found it challenging to maintain that level of performance this year.

Christopher Eubanks, competing in his first match since the US Open and making his debut appearance in China this year, initially struggled to find his rhythm. However, as the match progressed, he gained control and secured a place in the Shanghai Masters’ third round by defeating Yannick Hanfmann. Eubanks has enjoyed a remarkable season on the main tour, with his breakthrough moment occurring at the Miami Masters in March. As a qualifier, he won six consecutive matches and gave a competitive performance against eventual champion Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals. This success boosted his confidence, leading to impressive performances against top-10 players, including a notable victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon.
