Tennis Tips today – matches today 10.10.
The Shanghai quarterfinals will take place without Alexander Zverev. The number three surprisingly lost in the round of 16 to David Goffin, who made life difficult for Zverev with the perfect mix of aggressive play and strong defense.
The Belgian now has three days before his quarter-final against Taylor Fritz, just like Novak Djokovic and Jakub Mensik. On Thursday, there will be a real top match between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev, two hard court aces.
Alcaraz against Sinner, it could also come to this top fight of the young high-flyers in Shanghai again. They only played the final in Beijing. At the Masters, they would already face each other in the semi-finals. To do that, they first have to solve their tasks.
Sinner, in particular, has a tough task ahead of him against Medvedev. He has played the Russian from Moscow 13 times already and is just behind with 6:7 in their direct duels. After the disappointment of the Wimbledon quarterfinals, the world number one was able to get revenge at the US Open.
Medvedev has already won the tournament in 2019. Sinner and, in the possible quarterfinals, Alcaraz and final Novak Djokovic, not a favorable tournament draw for Medvedev. Therefore, the Russian can be found further down in the tournament winner odds list at the top betting providers.
And in Wuhan? The round of 16 is not scheduled until Thursday. Sabalenka is the top seed and has to hold her own against Putintseva. I am also looking forward to the match of the US Open winner in 2023, Coco Gauff. I know exactly which bet I am putting on the market for the match against Marta Kostyuk.

Tennis Tips today 10.10.: Gauff – Kostyuk (05:00)
In addition to the Sabalenka match, Gauff against Kostyuk is the women’s tennis highlight on Thursday. Two players who play powerful tennis and have offered each other three sets in their three direct duels. Most recently, the Ukrainian was ahead, but they played on clay.
In the two hard court matches, Gauff prevailed. Gauff had no problems in the first round against Viktoriya Tomova, only losing three games. Kostyuk benefited from a match cancellation by 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, which Sabalenka is also proving this year with a strong statistic of 34 wins from 41 matches. In addition to the Australian Open, she also won the US Open in 2024. In Beijing, Karolina Muchova was the only player to stand up to her recently.
In Wuhan, however, she presented another quick two-set victory, winning 15 of her last 16 matches on the surface. She only faced Putintseva on court in 2019, when the three-year-older Kazakh won. She brings not only good defense but also creativity and convinced in round two against Donna Vekic. However, Sabalenka is currently hard to stop, 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, which is no wonder. After all, they both make it to the last rounds almost every time on hard courts; twelve of the 13 direct duels were played on hard courts. After six Medvedev successes in a row, Sinner won five times in a row until Wimbledon.
There have been almost no clear results in the recent past. A tiebreak or a game in which both players take a set is almost always the case. My colleague Isabella Strehmann, who has opted for the whopping 2.20 tiebreak odds in her detailed match prediction, is also aware of this. You can also get a lucrative new customer bonus at Bet365.

Tennis Betting today 10.10.: Alcaraz – Machac (12:30 p.m.)
Channel Slam Champion and Beijing winner Alcaraz is once again making life difficult for his competitors 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 being knocked out in the second round at the US Open, he has won twelve matches in a row, ten of them comfortably!
The Davis Cup match against Machac was not one of them. Machac won the tiebreak in the first set for the Czech Republic, but had to withdraw after losing the second set. The mixed doubles Olympic champion has had a strong tournament so far, including a strong comeback against Tommy Paul.
