Two unseeded players in a Masters final. Where have we got?

As for the outcome, the Monégasque looks battle-tested and has produced a more complete game throughout this tournament - the serving, the net game, the baseline game. The question is, whether he has enough in the tank and whether his total lack of experience of reaching ATP tour finals will be a factor.

The Monégasque in 3 is my pick.

Even though this tournament was chaotic, that tournament was even more chaotic. Vacherot’s path was pretty difficult and rinderknech’s wasn’t easy either. In Paris 2017, both of those guys only beat one seed on the way to final. Krajinovic also got a walkover against Nadal. Sinner’s injury and Alcaraz’s w/o had quite the effect on this tournament, but I feel like these two finalists still had a tough path to final and didn’t just get there cause the draw collapsed.

World #54 and #204 in the Masters 1000 final... everything you need to know about this joke of a tournament this year.

A fairy tale, really. But this is peak inconsistency in tennis. Without Sinner and Alcaraz, there is a mess

whoever wins, it took very special DNA to survive the Shanghai conditions.
