Betting tips
Alexander Zverev to win the tournament (9/4)
Alexander Zverev has enjoyed the best tournament of his career to date, winning two Grand Slam titles and finishing as the runner-up at Wimbledon.
The German has stepped out of the shadows and arguably muscled his way into a new ‘big three' alongside Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
Based on form, Zverev is the outstanding candidate to win the tournament, yet at 9/4, he still represents excellent value.
Novak Djokovic stage of elimination – quarter-finals (11/5)
We are very much in the final stages of Novak Djokovic's illustrious career, even if the great man still harbours ambitions to compete at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Aside from an impressive run to the semi-finals at Wimbledon, Djokovic has endured a miserable season, which has seen him slip outside the world's top 10 for the first time since July 2018.
His form since the grass court season has been particularly alarming. In two appearances on American hard courts, at Cincinnati and at the US Open, the 24-time Grand Slam champion lost twice, meaning he hasn't won a hard court match since the Australian Open at the beginning of the year.
While we are backing him to win a couple of matches this week, he is scheduled to face Zverev in the quarter-finals, and that will be a bridge too far at this stage of his career.
Alex De Minaur stage of elimination – first round (4/1)
Alex De Minaur has been all over the place over the last six months, with the Australian reportedly lacking confidence in his own game.
Since Wimbledon, De Minaur has failed to make it past the third round of any tournament, which is hardly the form of a top-10 player.
In the opening round in China, he is set to face Marino Navone, a player who has proven in recent times that he is capable of raising his game against elite opposition. The Argentinian defeated Djokovic and Berrettini at the US Open, and he has also enjoyed victories over Felix Auger-Aliassime and Casper Ruud this year.
