ATP Shanghai Best Bets Including Giron vs Tabilo

ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 1/64-Finals

Giron – Tabilo: 02.10.2025 09:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Marcos Giron has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Giron lost in the opening round to Korda in three tight sets. Last season in Shanghai, Giron lost to Goffin in the third round in three tight sets.

Alejandro Tabilo has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Tabilo lost to Bergs in the opening round in three tight sets. This week in Shanghai, the Chilean won both qualifying matches in straight sets. In the final qualifying round, Tabilo defeated Mayot in straight sets. He offered and saved seven breakpoints.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Tabilo dominated in the qualifying tournament. Just two weeks ago, the Chilean won the tournament in Chengdu. He is confident coming into this matchup, so we expect him to win.

That being said, Tabilo winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Alejandro Tabilo winning @1.80 @bet365

McDonald – Halys: 02.10.2025 09:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Mackenzie McDonald has won three of his last five matches. This week in Shanghai, McDonald failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, McDonald lost to Sakamoto in straight sets. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the American entered the main draw as a lucky loser.

Quentin Halys has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Beijing, Halys retired mid-match against Cazaux in the final qualifying round.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, McDonald is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He has already played two matches in Shanghai and looks ready for the upcoming match. On the other hand, Halys retired in his previous match, and it is unclear whether he is fully fit.

That being said, McDonald winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Mackenzie McDonald winning @1.53 @bet365

Royer – Navone: 02.10.2025 09:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Valentin Royer has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Hangzhou, Royer played in the final. He lost to Bublik in two tiebreaks. This week in Shanghai, the Frenchman qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both matches in straight sets.

Mariano Navone has lost four straight matches. The last match he won was over a month ago in Winston-Salem. The last match he played was in Tokyo, where he failed to qualify for the main draw of the tournament.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Royer is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in great form and has dominated in the qualifying tournament. On the other hand, Navone struggled on hard courts this season. We expect Royer to dominate in this matchup.

That being said, Royer winning in straight sets is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Valentin Royer winning 2-0 @1.91 @bet365
