Jordan Thompson vs Roman Safiullin: Chengdu Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Jordan Thompson’s performance in Chengdu has seen steady improvement over the years. He initially had a first-round exit in 2016, then made it to the second round in 2019, and now, in his most recent appearance, he has reached the quarterfinals. This progression is quite noteworthy, especially given that he had only won three main-draw matches in tour-level events in the first five months of the year. While he came in second place in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, he faced defeats in the subsequent two quarterfinal matches against Adrian Mannarino in Newport and Taylor Fritz in Washington. Furthermore, this marks his third consecutive quarterfinal appearance in tournaments held in Asia at all levels. Earlier this year, he won the Gwangju Challenger and reached the quarterfinals in the Busan Challenger, though he was defeated by Gabriel Diallo in that match.

Roman Safiullin has shown a lot of promise in his tennis career, but his inconsistency has been a significant challenge. However, this year has seen a positive change as he has been able to consistently perform well in most of the tournaments he’s entered. This has led to some impressive results, including his recent entry into the top 50 rankings. Two months after making it to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, the talented but unpredictable Russian has now ventured into the Asian swing of tournaments and reached the quarterfinals in Chengdu. What’s remarkable is that he hasn’t lost more than four games in a set throughout this tournament, even when facing tough opponents like Brandon Nakashima and Dan Evans. He has a perfect 2-0 record in quarterfinal matches at the ATP level, and it’s worth noting that he didn’t drop more than four games in any set in both of those matches. He secured a 6-4, 6-4 victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas in Marseille 2022 and a 6-4, 6-1 win against Arthur Rinderknech in Tel Aviv 2022.
