Next surprise from Zverev’s conqueror?
Arthur Rinderknech is proving to be a real giant killer at the Shanghai Masters! On his way to the quarterfinals, he not only beat Alexander Zverev, the world number 3, but also the much higher-ranked Czech Jiri Lehecka.
An opponent who is also ranked among the top 20 players in the world. Now Felix Auger-Aliassime awaits. Is it worth betting on another surprise from the pro from Gassin in the upcoming match between Rinderknech and Auger-Aliassime?
His opponent is certainly in good form too. He recently reached the semifinals at the US Open and has two tournament victories in 2025 on hard court at the competitions in Montpellier and Adelaide, which are equally impressive. We therefore expect a close match and are going for a Rinderknech vs. Auger-Aliassime prediction of more than two sets.
In addition, we believe the odds for at least one tiebreak could be worthwhile – a scenario that was already seen in the last match between the two professionals just under two months ago in Cincinnati.
Arthur Rinderknech – Felix Auger-Aliassime Head-to-head record / H2H record
Arthur Rinderknech, who has only won tournaments on the Challenger Tour in his career, and the Canadian last faced each other in August this year at the Masters in Cincinnati. The match ended with a victory for “FA2” due to the world number 54 retiring in the second set due to injury.
In addition, the pro from Montreal won in two sets in their previous encounter in the spring of this year at the grass court tournament in Mallorca. For the upcoming duel between Rinderknech and Auger-Aliassime, the odds once again favor the Canadian.
Arthur Rinderknech – Felix Auger-Aliassime Tip
Arthur Rinderknech feels particularly comfortable on hard courts and traveled to Shanghai in strong form. At the US Open, the 30-year-old reached the round of 16 at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career, and at the previous tournament in Beijing, he once again made it into the top 16 players.
His elimination was also very close, losing a tiebreak in the decisive third set against Australia’s Alex de Minaur. Now, the professional, who is almost two meters tall, is continuing his strong performance at the Shanghai Masters, knocking Alex Zverev, one of the favorites for the title, out of the competition.
However, on paper, his upcoming opponent can once again be considered the stronger player, even though he has only ever made it to the second round at the Shanghai Masters. However, things are currently going much better for the 25-year-old.
In his three appearances in the tournament, he has always recorded straight-set victories. Now, however, the betting odds for more than two sets appear lucrative in the battle between Rinderknech and Auger-Aliassime.
As described, both professionals are in stable form and we expect a hard-fought duel. This was already the case in their last meeting in August this year at the Cincinnati Masters, when the first set was only decided in a tiebreak before the Frenchman had to retire due to injury.
