Tennis tips today – Matches today from 10.10.
The quarter-finals in Shanghai will take place without Alexander Zverev. The number three surprisingly failed in the round of 16 against David Goffin, who made life difficult for Zverev with the perfect mix of aggressive play and strong defense.
The Belgian now has a three-day break and will not have to play his quarter-final against Taylor Fritz until Friday, just like Novak Djokovic and Jakub Mensik. On Thursday, a real top match awaits between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev, two hard court aces among themselves.
Carlos Alcaraz will also be back on court after his successful revenge against Gael Monfils and will face Tomas Machac for the second time in his career. Will the top two players in the world rankings progress?
I’ll go into this in the individual sections on the matches below. I also have two matches from the women’s Wuhan Masters on the docket. Aryna Sabalenka will play Julia Putintseva. She has won the last two events.

Alcaraz vs Sinner, it could also come to this top match between the young high-flyers in Shanghai. They only played out the final in Beijing. At the Masters, they would meet in the semi-finals. But first they have to solve their problems.
Sinner in particular has a tough task on his hands with Medvedev. He has already played the Muscovite 13 times and is just 6:7 behind in the direct duel. After losing in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, the world number one recently got his revenge at the US Open.
Medvedev had already won the tournament in 2019. Sinner and in the possible quarter-finals Alcaraz and final Novak Djokovic, not a grateful tournament tree for Medvedev. That’s why the Russian can be found further down the list of tournament winner odds with the top betting providers.
And in Wuhan? Only the round of 16 is scheduled there on Thursday. Sabalenka is the top seed and will have to hold her own against Putintseva. I’m also looking forward to the match against the 2023 US Open winner, Coco Gauff. For the match against Marta Kostyuk, I know exactly which bet I’m putting in the race.

Tennis tips today 10.10.: Gauff – Kostyuk (05:00)
In addition to Sabalenka’s match, Gauff against Kostyuk is the tennis highlight in the women’s tournament on Thursday. Two players who are masters of power tennis and have played each other to three sets in their three direct duels. The Ukrainian had the edge in the last match, but it was played on clay.
Gauff came out on top in the two hard court matches. Gauff had no problems in her opening match against Viktoriya Tomova, giving up only three games. Kostyuk benefited from the withdrawal of Amanda Anisimova and had a long match against Elina Avanesyan in the first round.

Tennis betting today 10.10.: Sabalenka – Putintseva (13:00)
On hard court she is the best player on the WTA Tour, as Sabalenka proves again this year with strong statistics of 34 wins from 41 matches. In addition to the Australian, she also won the US Open in 2024. Karolina Muchova was her last opponent in Beijing.
In Wuhan, however, she produced another quick two-set victory, winning 15 of her last 16 matches on the surface. She only faced Putintseva on the court in 2019, when the three-year-old Kazakh prevailed; in addition to her good defense, she has wit and impressed in round two against Donna Vekic. However, Sabalenka is almost unstoppable at the moment, hitting winner after winner and serving much more dangerously.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Sabalenka & no tiebreak
Tennis betting today 10.10.: Sinner – Medvedev (09:00)
Sinner and Medvedev have often had the honor of playing against each other, no wonder. After all, they both reach the final rounds on hardcourts almost every time, with twelve of the 13 direct duels having been played on hardcourts. After six Medvedev successes in a row, Sinner won five times in a row up to Wimbledon.
There have been almost no clear-cut results in the recent past. A tie-break or a match in which both players snatch a game is almost always the case. My colleague Isabella Strehmann is also aware of this and has opted for the whopping 2.20 tiebreak odds in her detailed prediction for the match.

Tennis betting today 10.10.: Alcaraz – Machac (12:30 pm)
Channel Slam champion and Beijing winner Alcaraz is also making life difficult for his rivals in Shanghai. So far, the man from El Palmar has not lost a set and his hard court form towards the end of the season is really good. After his early exit in round two at the US Open, he has won twelve matches in a row, ten of them outright!
The Davis Cup match against Machac was not one of them. Machac won the tie-break in the first set for the Czech Republic, but had to retire after losing the second. The mixed doubles Olympic champion has played a strong tournament so far and showed a strong comeback against Tommy Paul.
