Jannik Sinner vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Shanghai Masters 2025

Sinner boasts a flawless head-to-head record against Griekspoor.

Jannik Sinner made a confident start to his 2025 Shanghai Masters title defence with a commanding 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniel Altmaier. Playing his first match since lifting the Beijing crown earlier in the week, the ATP World No. 2 showed composure and control, converting three of four break points in a solid one-hour, 38-minute display.

The win avenged his 2023 Roland Garros defeat to Altmaier and marked his 23rd career win in China.

With the victory, Sinner advanced to a third-round clash against Tallon Griekspoor, against whom he holds a perfect 6-0 record. The Italian is aiming to become the first player since Novak Djokovic in 2013 to defend the Shanghai title.

Already 23-2 on Chinese soil with three titles, Sinner now has a chance to close the gap on Carlos Alcaraz in the race for World No.1.

Preview

Griekspoor advanced to the third round after a turbulent yet hard-fought 6-1, 1-6, 6-1 victory over Jenson Brooksby. The Dutchman started strongly, dominating the first set with precise serving and aggressive baseline play, before dropping the second set to Brooksby’s resilient comeback.

In the deciding set, Griekspoor regained control, breaking Brooksby early and maintaining momentum to close out the match. Despite inconsistent break-point conversions, his overall consistency and ability to capitalize on key opportunities earned him the win.

The 27th seed now faces Sinner for the seventh time, seeking to break his losing streak against the Italian. Across their six prior encounters, Sinner has dropped just one set, most recently in last year’s Davis Cup.

Griekspoor’s struggles are compounded by six consecutive early-round exits since the grass-court season, making his challenge against the World No.2 particularly daunting.

Match prediction

Sinner enters this contest as the heavy favourite against Griekspoor. Fresh from a convincing 6-3, 6-3 win over Daniel Altmaier, Sinner has won 24 of his last 26 matches and carries momentum from his recent China Open title in Beijing.

Griekspoor, despite ending a seven-match losing streak with a 6-1, 1-6, 6-1 win over Jenson Brooksby, has historically struggled against Sinner, holding a 0-6 record in their head-to-head.

There will be no break for the Italian, but his dominance on hard courts in recent times, and superior consistency should see him continue his title defense, in clinical fashion.

Result: Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets.
