Things certainly appear to be falling into place for Novak Djokovic to win yet again at the ATP Shanghai Masters.

ATP Japan Masters Top Contenders

An ATP 1000 event, the Shanghai Masters has been won four times by Djokovic.

Injury led to world No. 2 Sinner dropping out of the tournament. World No. 3 Zverev and world No. 4 Fritz were eliminated.

Let's look at the top remaining contenders for this year's title.

Novak Djokovic (+160)

Only world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and Sinner have beaten Djokovic in his past four tournaments. He's gone as far as the semifinals in each of those tournaments.

His four wins in this event came in 2018, 2015, 2013, and 2012.

Alex de Minaur (+400)

The seventh-ranked player in the ATP, Australian de Minaur has yet to drop a set across his opening two rounds in Shanghai.

He's into the fourth round of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the fourth time this year.

Daniil Medvedev (+700)

The Russian player won the ATP Shanghai Masters in 2019. That makes him the most recent winner of the event still alive in this year's tournament.

Jiri Lehecka (+750)

Czechia's Lehecka is holding the No. 19 ranking in the world. He got to the quarter-finals of the US Open.

Lehecka recently downed Fritz and Frances Tiafoe to help Czechia upset the USA in Davis Cup play.

Holger Rune (+900)

Denmark's Rune is currently showing as No. 11 in the ATP rankings. He's reached the quarter-finals in two of his last three tournaments.

Rune's signature victory was a win over world No. 1 Alcaraz in the final at Barcelona.

Felix Auger-Aliassime (+1200)

Canadian Auger-Aliassime hasn't dropped a set through his first two Shanghai matches. He beat de Minaur and Zverev at the US Open before falling to Sinner in the semifinals.

De Minaur is the -110 choice in the tennis betting props to win the first quarter of the draw. Going with former champion Medvedev to win this quarter will get you a betting line of +160.

It's Djokovic who is the -250 odds-on chalk to capture the third quarter. Rune is the even-money favorite to emerge as the winner of the fourth quarter. The third quarter is the +140 chalk to produce the winner of this event.

Djokovic is also the -120 betting pick to reach the tournament final. De Minaur (+200) and Medvedev (+300) offer the next best betting lines to be in the final. Rune and Lehecka are at +400.

Betting that the tournament winner will come from the top or the bottom half of the draw is each set with odds of -115. The betting line is +325 that an unseeded player will reach the final. A qualifier getting to the final is set with a betting line of +2200.

In a name the finalists prop play, De Minaur vs Djokovic is the +500 betting choice. A final pitting two past winners of the ATP Shanghai Masters - Djokovic vs Medvedev - brings a betting line of +800. Lehecka vs Djokovic is the third betting pick at odds of +850. It's +900 that the champion will win the final without dropping a set.

And The Winner Is . . .

Djokovis battled illness to win his Round of 64 match. He even vomited during play. In his Round of 32 match, the Serbian player went the full three sets. So is Djokovic susceptible to an upset?
