The action at the ATP event in Shanghai continues on Wednesday, when during the early hours (for those situated in the US), there's an interesting match between Aleksandar Kovacevic and Matteo Berrettini. These two players will be meeting for the first time as professionals. Kovacevic, who hasn't been in great form of late, will be hoping to make it beyond the first round of this event for the first time ever, while Berrettini has previously reached the semis, doing so back in 2019.
At early odds of +125, those looking to get involved in the pre-match betting ahead of this clash should consider 'Over 2.5 Sets'. This is very much a match between two players lacking in confidence, so it's quite difficult to see either player coming out on top to zero, so much so that it's absolutely worth betting on the match to contain more than two sets.

Our Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Matteo Berrettini Prediction
It's been a while since an out-of-form Aleksandar Kovacevic won a match in straight sets. The American has not emerged victorious from any of his last five hard-court matches without dropping a set. Matteo Berrettini, who has had notable struggles with both injury and form, is in a similar position.
The Italian has often needed three sets to win in recent times, while whe he's lost, he's rarely gone down without picking up a set, so there's plenty that points towards this match being far from something that is done and dusted in quick time.
Our Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Matteo Berrettini Pick: Over 2.5 Sets.
