Japan Open – Tokyo
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz overcame a taped ankle to beat Argentina’s Sebastian Baez 6-4, 6-2. He’ll face Zizou Bergs next, who rallied past Alejandro Tabilo in back-to-back tiebreaks. Bettors monitoring MLB odds and scores also track tennis during the fall swing, where line moves can mirror MLB volatility.

Betting Notes:
- Alcaraz still covered as a strong favorite, though bettors should watch his ankle.

- Fritz’s three-set win hit the Over, something often flagged in service plays.
China Open – Beijing

| Fabian Marozsan | def. Benjamin Bonzi 7-6 (1), 6-3 |
Betting Notes:
- Sinner’s dominance rewarded spread and Under backers, highlighted on free plays.
- Muller’s upset over Khachanov produced one of the day’s best underdog tickets, tracked on the service plays leaderboard.
- Bettors comparing markets across sports picks sites saw wide variance in the Khachanov line, underlining the value of line shopping.
What It Means Moving Forward
- Alcaraz advances but injury questions linger. His price may soften in upcoming matches, offering potential contrarian value.
- Sinner looks every bit like the Beijing favorite, rewarding premium subscribers who invest via pricing packages.
- Bettors can lean on handicappers and service plays across sports for consistent strategy, since tennis upsets often mirror volatility seen in baseball and basketball markets.
