Tennis Tips today – matches today 09.10.
The Shanghai Masters offers a high-class field of participants. The local fans get their money’s worth and they are anything but high in the sixth largest tennis stadium in the world. Ticket prices for the round of 16 start at the equivalent of 36 euros, an absolute bargain.
And there is hardly anything more that could be offered on Wednesday. The entire top five of the world rankings are still in the running: Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev. The tennis day starts at 6:30 a.m., with the number one opening the day!
Sinner will face the young US hardcourt specialist Ben Shelton. Alcaraz will enter the court when the first player has finished their game. As in Cincinnati, the Spaniard will face Gael Monfils, who surprisingly won almost two months ago.
From a German perspective, the game of Alexander Zverev is particularly interesting in today’s tennis tips. He also has to play against a player he has already faced this year. David Goffin is increasingly fighting his way out of a long slump.
Tennis Tips Today – 09.10.2024
It took Zverev eight match points to beat Tallon Griekspoor in another thriller in this rivalry. In the second set, the Hamburg native was too passive, but in the decider he played more aggressively in terms of ball placement and pace, and in the end he secured a well-deserved victory.
What do Griekspoor and Goffin have in common? Among other things, the fact that they faced Zverev at the French Open. Griekspoor was on the verge of a coup with a 5-2 lead in the fifth set, but Goffin went down in three straight sets. However, he has also beaten the two-time ATP Finals champion before.
The Belgian is getting into his stride. He may not be back to his former top form, but the trend is clearly pointing upwards: he reached the semi-finals in Winston-Salem and is sniffing the Masters round of 16 at the US Open and in Shanghai.
It will be exciting to see how much energy he has left on Wednesday. He has twice been trailing by a set against Marcos Giron and Lorenzo Musetti over the last two days. In any case, he has already shown his mentality in these days.

Tennis Betting Today 10/09: Alcaraz – Monfils (8:00 a.m.)
We have probably never seen so many negative emotions on the court as against Monfils in any other of Alcaraz’s tennis matches. He even publicly apologized for it afterwards. Both in terms of character and on the court, he gets the chance to do better in Shanghai when he meets the tennis fan favorite again.
Alcaraz has already taken out two local heroes, Yibing Wu and Juncheng Shang. Monfils has already played in the first round, but made a particularly strong impression in his victory over his compatriot Ugo Humbert. He seems to be comfortable on the fast court in Shanghai.

Tennis Betting today 09.10.: Safiullin – Djokovic (12:30 p.m.)
After Sinner and Alcaraz finished their matches, it got a bit quieter in the stadium. It wasn’t until around 12:30 that Novak Djokovic entered the court, who gave a brilliant performance against Flavio Cobolli. The Italian got a thrashing from his idol.
A clear improvement in performance by the Serb after the rough start against Alex Michelsen and a nervous performance by Cobolli. He has already defeated Roman Safiullin this year in Monaco, and that in no uncertain terms, with 6-1, 6-2. He also had no chance in the first match.
Our expert tip: 2:0 for Djokovic
Tennis Betting today 09.10.: Goffin – Zverev (14:00)
I expected a tennis thriller between Zverev and Griekspoor and we got it. With a strong third set, Zverev lived up to his reputation as the number three. Goffin should suit Zverev better, even if at first glance it seems even at 4-4.
In his victories against Zverev, Goffin was on a better level in 2018, 2019 and 2021. He is currently getting into his stride better again, but is likely to have problems regularly getting through his service games against Zverev. Moreover, he has just two intensive days behind him. For Zverev’s victory in two sets, the top betting provider NEO.bet still offers a strong odds.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Zverev
