ATP Shanghai best bets including Sinner vs Medvedev

Quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai

Alcaraz – Machac: October 10, 2024 Time to be announced
H2H: 1-0

Carlos Alcaraz has won 12 games in a row. Last week Carlos won the title in Beijing. Alcaraz defeated Sinner in the final, as we predicted. It was a tough threesome, but Carlos played better under pressure and deservedly won the title. Here in Shanghai, Carlos won his opening match against Shang in straight sets. In the second round of the tournament, Alcaraz defeated Wu in straight sets. Today Carlos defeated Monfils in the round of 16 in close sets, as we predicted. Last year in Shanghai, Carlos lost in the round of 16 against Dimitrov in three close sets.

Tomas Machac has won four of his last five games. Last week in Tokyo, Machac lost to Humbert in three tight sets, as predicted. Here in Shanghai, Machac won his opening match against Davidovich Fokina in three tight sets. After losing the first set 1:6, Machac raised his level and turned the game around. In the third round of the tournament, Tomas defeated Vukic in simple sets. Today, in the round of 16, Machac beat Tommy Paul in three sets, as predicted.

The best bet

According to bookmakers, Alcaraz is the big favorite in this duel. We believe that Tomas is in great form and that he will go into this clash with full confidence. Alcaraz had a tough game against Monfils and we think he will struggle against Machac.

Apart from that, Machac covering the game's handicap is a value bet.

Value Bet/best odds: Tomas Machac +5.5 games handicap @1.65 @bet365

Sinner – Medvedev: 10/10/2024 Time to be announced
H2H: 6-7

Jannik Sinner has won four of his last five games. Last week Jannik reached the final in Beijing, where, as predicted, he lost to Alcaraz in three tight sets. Here in Shanghai, Sinner dominated in his opening match against Daniel, as we predicted. Jannik then defeated Etcheverry in three sets in the third round. Today, in the round of 16, Jannik defeated Shelton in close sets, as predicted. Last year in Shanghai, Sinner reached the third round where he was defeated by Shelton.

Daniil Medvedev has won four of his last five games. Last week in Beijing, Medvedev reached the semi-finals where, as predicted, he lost in straight sets to Alcaraz. Daniil has been struggling with his form recently, but his recent result in Beijing could give him some confidence back. Here in Shanghai, Medvedev defeated Seyboth Wild in close straight sets in his opening match. Daniil then won against Arnaldi in three close sets in the third round. Today, in the round of 16, Daniil won in straight sets against Tsitsipas. Last year in Shanghai, Medvedev reached the third round, where he lost to Korda in straight sets.

The best bet

According to the bookmakers, Sinner is the big favorite in this duel. We believe that Jannik is a better player at the moment and that he will continue his winning streak tomorrow against Daniil. Medvedev said he finds it difficult to play in Shanghai because the balls are slow and he cannot generate enough power.

Apart from that, Sinner covering the game's handicap is a value bet.

Value Bet/best odds: Jannik Sinner -3.5 games handicap @1.90 @bet365
