Shanghai Masters Quarterfinals: Ruud and Medvedev Picks
Friday brings the third and fourth quarterfinal matches of the Shanghai Masters. William Hill News looks at the best betting opportunities.
Shanghai Masters Betting Tips:
- Casper Ruud to win 2-1 (15/4)
- Daniil Medvedev to win 2-0 (13/10)
Rafael Jódar vs. Casper Ruud Prediction
Rafael Jódar is a slight favorite against Casper Ruud in Friday's quarterfinal. Jódar faces Ruud for the first time. Ruud, a three-time Grand Slam finalist and four-time Masters finalist, is not performing at his peak. Most of his career success has been on clay; he has only reached two Masters semi-finals on hard courts.
Jódar has struggled through the tournament, coming back from a set down in all three matches. While the Spaniard has had a breakout year, he has only reached one semi-final at a major tournament. Ruud's experience might lead to an upset.
Daniil Medvedev vs. Tommy Paul Prediction
Tommy Paul has won one out of five matches against Daniil Medvedev, that victory occurring on clay in Rome in 2024. Medvedev defeated a strong Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets, while Paul has yet to drop a set in this tournament.
Current form suggests a Medvedev victory. Betting markets position Paul as a significant underdog. Medvedev appears to be playing without pressure, seemingly unconcerned about qualifying for Turin.
Head-to-head statistics strongly favor Medvedev. Paul has reached only one Masters hard-court semi-final since the 2023 Canadian Open, and his record against top 10 players is weak.
