LiontipsSinner vs Daniel: ATP Shanghai Match Predictions and Betting Odds
Command Analysis
Current Form
Sinner boasts an impressive record on outdoor hard courts this season, securing 36 wins against just three losses. The only players to defeat him are Carlos Alcaraz and Andrey Rublev, with Sinner recently reaching the finals at the tournament in Beijing.
Professional Skills
It’s tough to pinpoint weaknesses in Sinner's game. His serve, forehand, and two-handed backhand with heavy topspin make him one of the most formidable players on hard courts. The Italian rightly holds the top spot in the world rankings.
Current Tour Performance
Sinner is the world number one, having clinched six titles this season, including two Grand Slam tournaments. This year, he achieved victories at both the Australian Open and the US Open.
Interesting Betting Stats
This year, Sinner has won all 11 matches against players ranked outside the top 50.
Current Form
Daniel triumphed in the first round of the Shanghai tournament, defeating Egor Gerasimov with scores of 6-7, 6-3, 6-4. Taro delivered six aces during the match, successfully converted two break points, and did not lose a single game on his serve. This victory marked his 12th win on outdoor hard courts this season, against 14 losses.
Professional Qualities
Daniel's potential is notably limited. His first serve is weak and often inaccurate. Additionally, Taro lacks a powerful forehand and backhand. His main asset is his endurance, but that alone isn't sufficient to compete with top-10 players in the world rankings.
Current Tour Performance
Daniel remains in the top 100 of the ATP rankings, but his performance this season has not been impressive, suggesting he may soon drop out of this bracket. Notably, Taro achieved his best result this year in January at the Auckland tournament, where he reached the final.
Interesting Betting Facts
Throughout his career, Daniel has won only 1 out of 13 matches against top-10 ranked players.
