What should you expect from this year’s edition of the Shanghai Masters? What bets can you place, and how do you stake on tennis here at Stake Sportsbook?

Introduction to the ATP Shanghai Masters Betting

The Shanghai Masters is one of nine events that make up the ATP 1000, meaning that it’s one of the biggest events on the calendar. In fact, it sits just behind the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, and ATP Finals in prestige and value to players.

It has become a popular choice for tennis betting, and is one of China’s top events, with only the China Open matching it in size.

When is the ATP Shanghai Masters Men's Singles 2025?

The Shanghai Masters will begin on September 29 and end on October 12 with the final.

History of the ATP Shanghai Masters Tournament

Tennis has been held in Shanghai on and off since 1996. That first tournament was known as the Shanghai Open and, since then, there have been a number of events held in China’s largest city.

The Shanghai Masters, as an ATP 1000 event and part of the Asian Swing, was first held in 2009, with global tennis authorities and those in China seeing the chance for great growth in the region.

Novak Djokovic holds the record for the most finals wins with four, while Andy Murray is another player who has had a good pedigree in the tournament, winning three. Interestingly, Rafael Nadal never won in Shanghai, falling in the final on two occasions - one of those was to two-time winner Roger Federer, which is no great shame.

Who is Playing in the ATP Shanghai Masters Men's Singles 2025?

This is a prestigious event on the tennis calendar, with only the Grand Slam tournaments and the ATP Finals trumping the Masters 1000 games. Because of that, you can expect to see the best of the best at the Shanghai Rolex Masters, including names like Ugo Humbert and Daniil Medvedev. Here are our top tennis player picks to look out for:

Carlos Alcaraz

The young Spaniard will be coming off the back of strong performances in the Laver Cup from Team Europe and wins in the French and US Opens in 2025. He will be a strong favourite.

Jannik Sinner

After winning Wimbledon and the Aussie Open this year, Sinner will want to add another Masters 1000 title to his collection. He is also the holder of the 2024 Shanghai Masters, so he could go back-to-back here.

Alexander Zverev

The third seed, Zverev, is Germany’s hope at the Shanghai Masters. He will likely have to get the better of one of the Grand Slam dominators to get there, but a strong tournament could see him do just that.

Format and Schedule of the ATP Shanghai Masters

As qualification is not yet completed for the Shanghai Rolex Masters, the schedule has not been announced. This is a straight knock-out tournament, though, and the draws and schedule will be announced as the action unfolds.
