Sadly, Tien will beat Cam I think

It could have gone either way against Cazaux, so feels like a bonus shot to me 

 Agreed. Tien will be top 20 in the near future, Cam has struggled since the US Open. Not sure this slow Shanghai surface helps him. 

Actually, why have the slowed it down- its been an historically quick surface and all the players are complaining they have an extra abrasive surface this year which makes it v slow. 

 

I would have said slow courts did suit Cam rather well just by his game. And on those slow Indian Wells courts he won the titie in 2021 and has twice subsequently been in quarter finals there.

Tien is betting favourite but not by that big a margin. 8/11 vs 11/10.

 tbf, I had forgotten about his success on the IW slower courts. Let's see how it goes - just think Tien is a talent and on a good run with good confidence at the moment, and could be a handful. My worry re slow courts is whether they would give Cam the opportunity to penetrate through, but your point is fair!

Cam's been making quite a few unforced errors - forehands into the net which is costing him. Otherwise they're playing at a similar level. However, Tien has just raised his game in the 2nd set and broken Cam too. I need to go but I can't see Cam turning this unless he raises his game

 

edit to correct Tien's name

Gosh, that was a touch and go thing for Henry and Harri. Couldn't really have been any closer!
