Over 2.5 sets is priced at +110 on DraftKings.
Current Form:
Rafael Jodar delivered back-to-back gritty wins to reach the fourth round of the 2026 Shanghai Masters. After a first-round flameout in Tokyo, Jodar recalibrated his game to defeat Thiago Agustin Tirante 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 and Jiri Lehecka 4-6, 7-6, 6-4.
Botic Van de Zandschulp has racked up three consecutive wins over strong competition to reach the round of 16. Zandschulp defeated Daniel Merida 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-4, and Arthur Fils 7-5, 6-4.
The Matchup: Zandschulp and Jodar will meet for the first time. Jodar, being the higher-ranked player, is obviously the favorite at -193, but bettors need to recognize the Dutch’s upset potential after racking up clean wins in the past rounds.

Our Botic Van De Zandschulp vs Rafael Jodar Prediction
Key Stats: Rafael Jodar has only dropped two service games in Shanghai, saving 14 of 16 break points.
Botic Van De Zandschulp has already conceded five service games, saving 16 of 21 break points.
What to Expect: Jodar hacks out a close win, but Zandschulp will push him to three sets. Jodar’s ability to dictate rallies from the baseline with heavy top-spins presents a tactical problem for Zandschulp, who likes to hit the ball flat. However, you just can’t write off an experienced, battle-tested player like Zandschulp.
This match promises another action-packed duel with a high probability of going the distance. Over 2.5 sets at +110 seems to be a value move given the unpredictability of this pairing.
Fearless Forecast: Rafael Jodar wins 6-4, 6-7,7-5
