He was also the runner-up in Hamburg, and reached semifinals in Los Cabos and Montpellier. Owing to his Round of 64 exit at the Shanghai Masters in 2024, this year&rsquo;s edition presents a golden opportunity for the 27-year-old to make amends and earn some vital ranking points. Currently ranked No. 14 in the world, Rublev has a winning ratio of just under 60% so far. He will be hoping to snap his unwanted run of two back-to-back tournaments where he has lost his opener.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Medvedev and Rublev sharing a laugh together in Shanghai &#129392;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DaniilMedwed?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@DaniilMedwed<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AndreyRublev97?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@AndreyRublev97<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SH_RolexMasters?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@SH_RolexMasters<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/RolexShanghaiMasters?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#RolexShanghaiMasters<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4qhEDNdERL\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/4qhEDNdERL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tennis TV (@TennisTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TennisTV\/status\/1973968198115655938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Yoshihito Nishioka has won three matches since the start of qualifying &ndash; all without dropping a set.

In terms of recent form, neither player merits too much in their own favor. But on the outdoor hard courts of Shanghai, Rublev&rsquo;s power game might come to his aid. The Russian will look to land a high percentage of first serves to put Nishioka on the back-foot due to his height, and dictate play from there. The 30-year-old Japanese sensation is likely to adopt a deeper court position; it will be interesting to see if Rublev produces any variations and changes of pace.<\/p><p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Andrey Rublev in three sets.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Andrey Rublev SHOCKS Double Defending Champion Carlos Alcaraz | Madrid 2024 Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HhaH37FvIFw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andrey Rublev vs Yoshihito Nishioka ATP Shanghai Masters 2025 Betting Odds<\/h2><p>Rublev is the clear favorite (3\/10) and Nishioka is an underdog (5\/2) for the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters second round.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
