Winner Prediction: Who will win the 2025 Shanghai Masters
The world's top players will be competing at the 2025 ATP Shanghai Masters. Players such as Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic, and Zverev are all on the draw for this Shanghai Masters tournament. In China, the battle for the title promises to be fierce!
The two stars are used to meeting in the final, and that could well be the case here again. If we had to choose, we would still favor Jannik Sinner, the defending champion. Carlos Alcaraz has never made it past the quarterfinals here, which makes us lean towards a victory for the Italian.

Our Shanghai Masters Betting Tips
Predicting ATP Shanghai matches requires an in-depth analysis of the event. SportyTrader's tennis experts take into account a number of parameters in their predictions of the matches, all of which are essential for maximum betting success. Here they are.
Taking stock of players' form
Betting on a match at the ATP Shanghai tournament starts with taking stock of the players' form on the court. Before placing your bet, take the time to look at the results of the last matches played by both sides, and the content produced within these matches.
For example, if a player has won 3 matches in two sets without conceding many games, you can be sure that he'll be the one to favour in your bets. Especially if his opponent in Shanghai is in poor form.
Taking stock of recent confrontations (head to head)
Since tennis is the sport par excellence in which the mind and psychology play a major role, you absolutely must take stock of the latest confrontations between the two players in the match you want to bet on. Who has the best record? That's the question you need to answer before placing your bet.
To make the right prediction for a match at this ATP Shanghai 2025, take a look at the latest results recorded in matches between the two men. There's no need to go back 15 years, just the last 2 or 3 head-to-heads. Your idea was to predict Sinner's success against Medvedev, but you realize that the Italian has lost 4 times to the Russian? Be wary before you bet.
Consider the playing surface
As you are regularly reminded in every tennis prediction written by our specialists, the playing surface is an essential element in the analysis of a match. Lawn, clay, hard court... each tournament uses a particular surface, on which the players don't necessarily have the same results.
While some are brilliant on clay (Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, Ruud...), others are more successful on hard court (Medvedev, Zverev, Rublev...), or on grass. For this Shanghai 2025 Masters 1000, opt for players who are usually at ease on the hard surface used in China. They'll be the most likely to shine in the tournament.
Knowing the history of the players in Shanghai
Knowing the track record of each player in Shanghai is also an essential part of betting on the 2025 tournament. In tennis, every player has his own favourite tournaments, where he is used to playing well. This can be explained by a number of factors, such as the venue, the playing conditions, or even a psychological and mental side if the player has already shone in the tournament.
Without necessarily putting aside the others, since there are firsts for everything, give preference to players who have already achieved success when betting on the Shanghai ATP tournament this season. Hubert Hurkacz, Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic, for example, are the only winners still in action, so you'll have to rely on them. Always apply this reasoning before betting with an online sportsbook.
Check the ATP rankings before the tournament
As the Shanghai Masters 1000 is the penultimate event of the tennis season, it obviously counts for a lot in the Race and the qualifying places for the Nitto ATP Finals. It's a factor that needs to be taken into account, since the players in the running to take part in the Masters will be playing the Chinese competition to the hilt.
One player needs to shine to secure his place in Turin? Can another still hope to take part if he does well in Shanghai? On the other hand, is one player sure he won't be able to take part? The answers to these questions will determine an important element in the analysis: motivation. Don't forget that motivation plays a big part in tennis, so you need to make sure that everyone is determined to perform in Shanghai. It's essential.
Stats to Consider for the ATP Shanghai Masters 1000
As you probably know, statistics are very important in tennis betting. Whether it's to predict the winner of a match or to place an alternative bet (number of games, sets, winner of a set, etc.), you need to know the key figures of a competition. Here, then, are the key statistics from the Shanghai ATP, which will help you make the right bets in 2025. These figures were collected during the last edition of the Chinese Masters 1000.
- Average number of games per match: 23.6 games
- Two-set matches: 67%.
- Three-set matches: 33%.
- Matches in which the winner won the 1st set: 80%.
- Matches with a bubble (6-0): 1%.
- Matches with a tie-break in the 1st set: 29%
- Matches with a tie-break in the 2nd set: 21%
- Matches with a tie-break in the 3rd set: 3% (10% of three-set matches)
Among other things, you should therefore focus on the favorites winning in two sets in this 2025 tournament (exact score 2-0), and why not try +10.5 games in the first set for alternative bets. Generally high on online betting sites, the odds for these scenarios are not to be missed.
In short: how to make a good prediction on the Shanghai ATP tennis tournament in 2025?
In Shanghai, as elsewhere, there's no secret to successful tennis betting. For example, when placing your tennis bet on the Chinese tournament, bear in mind the format of the hard-court competition, the relevant statistical data and the recent performances of the players involved. On this fast surface, some players may have specific skills or preferences.
