Ruusuvuori Has Had an Up-and-Down Season
World no. 57 Emil Ruusuvuori has done a decent job this year, but despite getting wins in the initial rounds, he has not been able to go deep in too many tournaments.
Ruusuvuori brings a 27-25 tour level record into the tournament. That record includes a maiden ATP quarterfinal in Miami and a semifinal finish in ‘s-Hertigenbosch.
Most recently he reached the round of 16 in Washington and Cincinnati and featured in the Davis cup last week, where he won two singles matches and lost one.
The Finn, who has one runner-up finish at the tour level, had started the year at no. 40 and has seen lots of fluctuations in the rankings due to his inconsistent performances this year.
Can he get off to a fine start in Chengdu?

Rinderknech Has Struggled This Year
Taking on Ruusuvuori will be Arthur Rinderknech, who will be playing for the first time since losing in the third round of the US Open.
The Frenchman is 22-24 across levels, but at the tour level he has a poor 11-18 record this year.
Rinderknech has two quarterfinal finishes this year. One was in Mallorca, where he was a lucky loser and the other was in Ktzbuhel on clay.

He is coming off his best ever major performance, can he start with a win?
