The 23-year-old’s reward for reaching the last eight is a showdown with world number five Zverev, who comfortably dispatched of Australian Alex de Minaur 6-1 6-4 in his third-round match.

Edmund and Zverev have met three times before and the German has prevailed on each occasion, with their most recent clash at the Italian Open in May.

Whoever wins Friday’s match will take on either Novak Djokovic or Kevin Anderson in the semi-finals.

Djokovic has won the Shanghai Masters on three previous occasions, most recently in 2015, while he beat Anderson in the Wimbledon final earlier this year.

The Serbian sealed his place in the quarter-finals with a 6-4 6-0 thrashing of Marco Cecchinato, while Anderson was also a straight-sets victor as he saw off Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 7-6 (7-1).
