Shanghai Rolex Masters
Tennis live betting fans are in for a treat as the main event of the men’s Asian Swing gets underway in Shanghai.
Some of the game’s top tennis stars return to action to take command of the betting odds, while some young guns take centre stage to give the online gambling community a peak of the bright future of the sport.
The focus of the tournament – just like the previous ones – will be on World No.1 Rafael Nadal and the returning Roger Federer.
Rafa, surprisingly, hasn’t won the competition since its inaugural year in 2009, during which he lost in the finals. Meanwhile, Federer has only won once here, which was back in 2014.
The two have a chance to cement their record in the Shanghai Masters after what could be described as their renaissance year. Nadal particularly has a big opportunity to solidify his No.1 standing following his impressive showing in the China Open.
Big hitters like Marin Cilic and Milos Raonic should make the competition even more exciting, as well as Dominic Thiem and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Bulgarian star Grigor Dimitrov also looks primed to stage a deep run after his Cincinnati title win two months ago.
Besides the known stars, however, young players are also expected to impress and perhaps pull off some upsets in the tournament.
Nick Kyrgios is one to watch out for, especially after he made the quarterfinals of both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
Alexander Zverev shouldn’t be counted out too as he continues to prove he’s the next big thing in tennis.
US Open standout and Canadian teenage phenom Denis Shapovalov should be an exciting player to keep an eye on with his wildcard entry. The same goes for 17-year-old Wu Yibing, who is often cited as the potential #NextGen star of China.
Despite its brief history, the Shanghai Masters has been voted multiple times as the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament of the year; and with the top stars ready to go all out once again, the event should provide another delightful experience for all the players and fans.
