Sinner vs. Machac Odds

Match Preview

The way Sinner humiliated Daniil Medvedev was more than impressive. He beat the Russian in straight sets, though, allowing him just five games, 6-1, 6-4.

This was another swift and confident victory for the Italian star after more or less easily defeating Ben Shelton in the round before. He has just one lost set in Shanghai so far.

On the other hand, Machac endured a heavy and demanding battle against Alcaraz. In the end, he, too, was better than the rival 2-0, yet both of his sets saw him winning seven games.

His saving break points decided this event because Machac defended Alcaraz’s attacks to break his serve seven times on eight occasions. Also, his stable first serve in the crucial moments was a big factor.
