Key Points
- This tennis betting tip is from the Shanghai Masters and the match between Rafael Nadal (2) and Florian Mayer (23).
- Mayer is having the best year of his life at the age of 28 and will certainly give Nadal a run for his money here.
- He has powerful flat strokes, a strong serve and good volleys which means he's exactly the sort of player that can put and out of form Nadal under pressure.
- Anyone looking at Nadal's performance against Murray last weekend would find it hard to be confident betting on him this week in Shanghai.
- Last year he lost at this stage to Melzer (13) and it appears that he's in a similar sort of form this year.
- Nadal is a player who's form fluctuates enormously throughout the year and he always peaks for the grand slams. At other times of the year he looks to be physically weaker and lacking in confidence.
- It seems clear to me that Shanghai is not high on his agenda and he's already been complaining about the weight of the balls this week! It's almost as if he wants to get his excuses in early in case of an early defeat.
- I'm sure he wouldn't mind too much if he were to avoid playing Murray this week which could be another painful experience for him.
- As I said Mayer has exactly the game to trouble Nadal and I'm sure he'll be delighted that his first match against the Spaniard is on a fairly fast hard court (rather than clay).
- Mayer took out Nalbandian (64) in two sets yesterday and recently won the tournament in Bucharest.
- He's a similar player to Melzer who beat Nadal here last year.
- He will be highly confident coming into this match and knows he has nothing to lose.
- I think will see him play attacking tennis right from the start and he has a great chance of causing an upset here!
