Munar arrives in Shanghai in excellent form after a five-match winning streak, highlighted by his impressive three-set victory over Taylor Fritz in Tokyo. He followed that with straight-set wins over Jaime Faria and Kyrian Jacquet before taking a set from Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals.
Brooksby has shown flashes of strong form, but his overall 2026 campaign has been inconsistent, with 23 defeats in 39 matches. Munar is also ranked significantly higher, No. 49 compared with Brooksby’s No. 102, and the market currently makes Munar the clear favourite.

Muchova comes into this quarter-final in excellent form, having won five of her last six matches and reaching the China Open quarter-finals after wins over Katie Boulter, Liudmila Samsonova and Naomi Osaka. Her latest victory over Osaka was a hard-fought three-set battle, showing her ability to perform under pressure.
Bartunkova has been impressive too, including a huge upset against Aryna Sabalenka, but Muchova has the clear experience and ranking advantage. She is No. 8 in the world compared with Bartunkova at No. 34, and this is their first meeting. Muchova to win is the selection.
