Auger-Aliassime – de Jong: 06.10.2025 06:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Felix Auger-Aliassime has won four of his last five matches. The last match he played before the ATP Shanghai was at the US Open, where he lost to Sinner in the semifinals in a tight four-set match. This week, the Canadian won the opening match against Tabilo in straight sets. He saved all seven breakpoints.
Jesper de Jong has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Beijing, de Jong failed to qualify for the main draw of the tournament. In the opening main draw round, the Dutchman defeated Zhou in three tight sets, after playing for almost three hours. De Jong upset Mensik in the second round in three tight sets.
According to the bookies, Auger-Aliassime is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He dominated in the opening round against Tabilo. Earlier this season in Montpellier under similar conditions, the Canadian defeated de Jong in straight sets. We expect a similar outcome tomorrow.
That being said, Auger-Aliassime covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Felix Auger-Aliassime -3.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
Majchrzak – de Minaur: 06.10.2025 06:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Kamil Majchrzak has won four of his last five matches. This week in Shanghai, Majchrzak defeated Quinn in the opening round in straight sets. In the second round, Majchrzak demolished Nakashima in straight sets.
Alex de Minaur has won four of his last five matches. This week in Shanghai, de Minaur won the opening match against Ugo Carabelli in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints.
According to the bookies, Majchrzak is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He dominated in both matches this week. If he serves well, we expect him to keep this match close.
That being said, Majchrzak covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Kamil Majchrzak +4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

In the second round, he defeated Vukic in straight sets.
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Shang enjoys playing at home. He played well against Khachanov. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Shang winning is a value bet.
