Novak Djokovic of Serbia opened at -140 to cover -4.5 games in his upcoming showdown with Zizou Bergs of Belgium in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 Shanghai Masters on Thursday.
Current Form:
With Carlos Alcaraz taking a vacation and Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev crashing out early, the 38-year-old Djokovic emerges as the top betting favorite to win his fifth Shanghai Masters crown. The Serb reached the quarterfinals of this year’s tournament after staving off Jaume Munar of Spain 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 in an entertaining battle on Tuesday. Djokovic won all except one service game and broke Munar’s serves three times, including a double break in the third set. Djokovic has now won 8 of his last 9 matches.
Bergs reached the quarterfinals in Shanghai after edging Gabriel Diallo 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 in a back-and-forth battle also on Tuesday. The Belgian dropped the first set but displayed clutch shot-making in the final two sets to hack out a come-from-behind win over Diallo. Bergs has captured four ATP top-100 wins in this tournament alone, beating Sebastian Korda, Casper Ruud, Francisco Cerundolo, and Diallo.

Our Zizou Bergs vs Novak Djokovic Prediction
Novak Djokovic might be old, but he’s still not out yet in the conversation on who is the best in men’s tennis right now. The elder statesman showed heart in his three-set victories over Yannick Hanfmann and Munar. Bergs has played some of his best tennis in this tournament, claiming four top-100 wins. Ranked No.44 in the world, Bergs hasn’t faced as elite as Djokovic. He’s a career 1-8 against the ATP top-10, with his lone win coming against Andrey Rublev at the 2025 Miami Open.
Fearless Forecast: Novak Djokovic cruises to a 6-3, 6-3 win over Zizou Bergs. Djokovic will have a stronger and crisper game after surviving two tough matches in the previous round.
