ATP Shanghai Best Bets Including Djokovic vs Munar

ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 1/8-Finals

Munar – Djokovic: 07.10.2025 12:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Jaume Munar has won three of his last five matches. This is his third appearance in Shanghai. In the opening round, the Spaniard defeated Fucsovics in three tight sets. After losing the opening set 4-6, he turned the match around. In the second round, Munar demolished Cobolli in straight sets. He offered and saved only one breakpoint. In the third round, Munar won against Nishioka in three sets after playing almost three hours. Last season in Shanghai, Munar lost to Lehecka in the second round in straight sets.

Novak Djokovic has won four of his last five matches. This week in Shanghai, Djokovic won against Cilic in the second round in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving four out of four breakpoints. In the third round, Djokovic defeated Hanfmann in three tight sets. After losing the opening set 4-6, the Serb turned the match around after playing for almost three hours. Djokovic has been the champion here four times already. Last season, the Serb lost to Sinner in the final in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Munar is the heavy underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Djokovic struggled on the court in the third round against Djokovic. He threw up on the court and felt sick. On the other hand, Munar had played three solid matches this week. We expect the Spaniard to keep this match tight.

That being said, Munar covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Jaume Munar +4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

Vacherot – Griekspoor: 07.10.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Valentin Vacherot has won five straight matches. This week in Shanghai, Vacherot qualified for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, Vacherot defeated Draxl in three tight sets. In the opening main draw round, Vacherot won against Djere in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints. His toughest challenge happened in the second round against Bublik. After losing the opening set 3-6, Vacherot turned the match around and won in three tight sets. Machac retired mid-match against Vacherot in the third round.

Tallon Griekspoor has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Shanghai, Griekspoor defeated Brooksby in the opening round in three sets. In a rollercoaster-type match, the Dutchman played better under pressure. Sinner retired in the deciding set against Griekspoor in the third round. Last week in Beijing, the Dutchman lost to Moutet in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Vacherot played well this week and surprised everyone in the draw. However, Griekspoor is a top-40 player with extensive experience at the Masters 1000 level. He played his best tennis against Sinner, and we expect him to be a better player tomorrow. His experience will prevail in this matchup.

That being said, Griekspoor winning is a value bet.
