Dominic Thiem v Pablo Carreno Busta Head to Head
The pair have met eight times so far in their career with the Austrian winning on seven occasions. Their most famous match was at the 2016 US Open, where Thiem prevailed in four sets. Busta-Carreno’s only victory came on the clay courts at the Como Challengers back in 2013.
Thiem Back In Form After Winning China Open
Before last week’s China Open title, Thiem’s season was seemingly fizzling out after an impressive start to the year. After winning in Indian Wells and Barcelona, Thiem reached his second consecutive French Open final before once again losing to Rafael Nadal. He followed it up with another title in front of his home crowd at Kitzbuhel. Since then, his hardcourt form was very inconsistent with as he crashed out of the US Open in the first round itself.
The world number five came into form at the right time and had a solid week in Beijing. He beat Andy Murray, Karen Khachanov & Stefanos Tsitsipas on the way to his 15th career title.
He also became the fifth player to confirm his spot at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London. Being the fourth seed in Shanghai, he got a bye in the first round.

Currently ranked 37th in the world, the Spaniard got to the main draw this week via qualifying rounds. He got past the local boy Ze Zhang in a hard-fought match in the first round.
Dominic Thiem v Pablo Carreno Busta Predictions & Tips
Both the players go into the match after winning a title recently on the back of a relatively inconsistent last couple of months.
