ATP Shanghai Best Bets: Jodar vs Ruud and Medvedev vs Paul Insights

The ATP Shanghai tournament is in full swing, and it’s a crucial stop on the Asian swing. With top players like Alcaraz and Djokovic already out, the field is wide open for someone to make a serious points grab. We’re zeroing in on two matches that have our attention.

First up, Rafael Jodar faces Casper Ruud. Jodar hit a rough patch recently but seems to have bounced back in Shanghai, reaching the quarters. He’s had some extra rest, which might just give him the edge in freshness against Ruud. It’s their first meeting, so no history to lean on. We’re liking Jodar to pull it off, but it’s not a sure thing—bet with caution.

Then there’s Daniil Medvedev taking on Tommy Paul. Medvedev is on a tear, winning nine of his last ten matches, while Paul is solid but not quite at that level. Medvedev’s form is just too strong to ignore here. We’re backing Medvedev to cover the game spread, with Paul as a hedge option if you want to play it safe.
