Griekspoor – Brooksby: 03.10.2025 11:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Tallon Griekspoor has lost seven straight matches. The last match he won was over two months ago in Bastad on clay. Last week in Beijing, the Dutchman lost to Moutet in the opening round in straight sets.
Jenson Brooksby has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Brooksby lost to Fritz in the semifinals in straight sets. This is his debut campaign in Shanghai. He hopes for a solid result this week to come closer to the top 50 in the rankings. In the opening main draw round, the Brit defeated Trotter in straight sets.
According to the bookies, Brooksby is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Griekspoor is in terrible form. On the other hand, Brooksby is slowly but surely coming back to his best form. We expect Brooksby to win.
That being said, Brooksby covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jenson Brooksby -2.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
Munar – Cobolli: 03.10.2025 11:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Jaume Munar has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Munar lost to Berrettini in the opening round in straight sets. This is his third appearance in Shanghai. In the opening round, the Spaniard defeated Fucsovics in three tight sets. Last season in Shanghai, Munar lost to Lehecka in the second round in straight sets.
Flavio Cobolli has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Beijing, the Italian lost to Tien in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets.
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Both players are clay-court specialists. However, Cobolli performed better than Munar on fast courts this season. We expect Cobolli to win tomorrow.
That being said, Cobolli winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli winning @1.80 @bet365
Fritz – Marozsan: 03.10.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Taylor Fritz has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Fritz had a decent run. He finished as a runner-up, losing against Alcaraz in the final in straight sets.
Fabian Marozsan has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Beijing, Marozsan lost to Sinner in the quarterfinals in straight sets. This is his second appearance in Shanghai. In the opening round, Marozsan defeated Wawrinka in three sets. Besides losing the second set 4-6, the Hungarian dominated throughout the match. In 2023 in Shanghai, Marozsan lost to Hurkacz in the quarterfinals in three tight sets.
According to the bookies, Fritz is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the best and most consistent hard-court players. Considering his form and skillset, we believe Fritz will dominate on his serve and win in straight sets.
That being said, Fritz winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Taylor Fritz winning 2-0 @1.80 @bet365
