Taylor Fritz has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Tokyo, Fritz was upset by Fils in the opening round. Here in Shanghai, Taylor won his opening match against Atmane in two tight tiebreaks. Both players served greatly throughout the whole match, losing their serve only once in the match. In the third round, Taylor won against Watanuki in straight sets. In the 1/8-Finals, Taylor defeated Rune in straight sets. Last year in Shanghai, Fritz lost in the third round against Schwartzman in three tight sets.
David Goffin has won four of his last five matches. Here in Shanghai, Goffin defeated Duckworth in straight sets in his opening match. After that, in the second round of the tournament, David defeated Musetti in three sets as we predicted. In the third round, Goffin defeated Giron in three tight sets. Yesterday, in the 1/8-Finals, David upset Zverev in straight sets. It was his biggest performance of the season. So far this season, Goffin has not had any remarkable results. He spent a lot of time playing at the challenger
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fritz is the big favorite in this matchup. However, Goffin played an incredible match against Zverev, and will definitely be confident coming into this matchup. These conditions are perfect for David, and we expect him to keep this match tight.
That being said, Goffin covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: David Goffin +4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
