Will the “Miracle of Shanghai” continue?

The Shanghai Masters has been full of surprises this year, but in the case of Valentin Vacherot, it has to be described as a sensation. The Monegasque is in the semifinals of an ATP tournament for the first time in his career, and what’s more, it’s a Masters!

Is it now worth betting on Novak Djokovic against Valentin Vacherot for the next coup by the world number 204?

With “Djoker,” the underdog will face a living legend who, at 38, may be past his prime, but the world number 5 still delivers tennis of an exceptionally high standard time and time again.

Furthermore, he loves this tournament: he has won the title four times in the “Magic City” and with this haul, the 24-time Grand Slam record winner is also the record holder in Shanghai! For the match between Novak Djokovic and Valentin Vacherot, however, the prediction is that the underdog will win at least one set.

Nevertheless, we see the Serb as the favorite to reach the final, which is why the betting odds on a 2:1 victory for Djokovic could also be worthwhile.

Novak Djokovic – Valentin Vacherot Tip

Valentin Vacherot is a complete unknown on the ATP Tour. The 26-year-old ranks far down the world rankings and is perhaps only known in Nonthaburi, Thailand, as the Roquebrune-Cap-Martin-born professional has won the Bangkok Open at least three times.

However, this is only a Challenger tournament, which is less significant in sporting terms. Now, however, the 26-year-old is making an even stronger impression at the Shanghai Masters. First, the right-hander fought his way through the qualifiers for the tournament and, after entering the main draw, he defeated a series of opponents who were always favored before the first ball was even hit, most recently the world number 11, Holger Rune.

Thanks to these successes, the professional from the principality, who is coached by Benjamin Balleret, is now facing the biggest match of his career, and we expect this special situation to give him another boost. Against this backdrop, the betting odds for the Monegasque to win a set in the semi-final of the Chinese Masters between Novak Djokovic and Valentin Vacherot appear lucrative.

This is also supported by the fact that, despite an easy schedule so far, his opponent only booked his place in the next round after three sets in half of his four matches in Shanghai.
