ATP Shanghai Day 5: Expert Predictions for Jannik Sinner vs Tallon Griekspoor Clash

Top Seeds Ready for Action at the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters

Jannik Sinner vs. Tallon Griekspoor: A New Chapter

In a highly anticipated match at the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters, No. 2 seed Jannik Sinner confronts Tallon Griekspoor. These players have met six times before, with Sinner claiming victory on each occasion. However, Griekspoor aims to change that narrative as he attempts to overcome the formidable Italian for the first time. Their encounter promises to be an exciting clash, with the tennis world eager to see if Griekspoor can finally upset Sinner.

David Goffin Takes on Gabriel Diallo

David Goffin is set for a showdown against Canadian Gabriel Diallo, following a surprise quarterfinal run in Shanghai last year. Goffin has already defeated a Top 10 player in this tournament, dispatching Ben Shelton with an impressive display. His ability to play aggressive tennis has been key, as over 30% of his shots were executed inside the baseline. Diallo, while less explosive of late, will need to raise his game to counter Goffin’s experience and skill.

Francisco Cerundolo vs. Zizou Bergs: A Battle of Form

As Francisco Cerundolo faces Zizou Bergs, the landscape of the match seems evenly poised. Bergs advanced after Casper Ruud retired from their match, and despite inconsistent recent performances, he carries significant potential. Cerundolo’s experience on hard courts could give him the edge, yet Bergs might seize the opportunity to apply pressure and attack the net aggressively.

Yannick Hanfmann Challenges Novak Djokovic

Yannick Hanfmann, fresh from qualifying rounds, faces his toughest test against No. 4 seed Novak Djokovic. The 24-time Grand Slam winner might not have found his stride in earlier ATP 1000 events, but he is clearly motivated to perform at a high level here. Hanfmann, though in good form, will need to find a way to counter Djokovic’s insatiable hunger for success.

Predictions: Who Will Prevail?

• David Goffin vs. Gabriel Diallo: Goffin to win in three sets.
• Francisco Cerundolo vs. Zizou Bergs: Bergs might edge it in three sets.
• Yannick Hanfmann vs. Novak Djokovic: Djokovic likely to secure a victory in straight sets.
• Jannik Sinner vs. Tallon Griekspoor: Sinner anticipated to win in two sets.
