ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 1/64-Finals

Kovacevic – Shang: Time TBA
H2H: 0-1

Aleksandar Kovacevic has lost four straight matches. His last win was over a month ago in Winston-Salem. Last week in Tokyo, Kovacevic failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. In the opening qualifying round, the American lost to Vukic in three tight sets.

Juncheng Shang has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Beijing, Shang lost to Cazaux in the opening round in three tight sets. He has been granted a wild card this week in Shanghai. Last season in Shanghai, Shang lost to Alcaraz in the second round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Shang is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He would have been a top 50 player if it were not for the injuries. He played well last week and almost defeated Cazaux in Beijing. With the help of the home crowd, we expect Shang to improve as a player.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Juncheng Shang -2.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365

Majchrzak – Quinn: Time TBA
H2H: 1-0

Kamil Majchrzak has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open. Majchrzak retired mid-match against Riedi in the third round. Since then, the Pole has recovered from an injury.

Ethan Quinn has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Quinn lost to Rune in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Shanghai. So far this season, Quinn has had his best results on hard courts at the Challenger Tour level.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Quinn is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Majchrzak had a solid run at the US Open. He even upset Khachanov in the second round. If he is fit and serves well, we expect him to keep this match close. Earlier this season at Wimbledon, Majchrzak defeated Quinn in straight sets.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Kamil Majchrzak +2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365

Marozsan – Wawrinka: 01.10.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

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 will be his second appearance in Shanghai. In 2023 in Shanghai, Marozsan lost to Hurkacz in the quarterfinals in three tight sets.

Stanislas Wawrinka has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Saint-Tropez, Wawrinka withdrew from his semifinal match against Added. This week, Wawrinka was granted a wild card in Shanghai.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Marozsan is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Wawrinka is 40 years old and is still competitive at the Challenger Tour level. However, he struggled on the highest level this season. We expect Marozsan to be a better player and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Fabian Marozsan -2.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
