Full analysis
Jodar has won his three listed Shanghai matches 2-1, against Tirante, Lehecka and Van De Zandschulp. That repeated need for a deciding set supports Over 22.5 Games at 1.83, although three sets do not automatically clear the line.
Jodar is ranked 13th and Ruud 24th, while Ruud beat both Bu and Tien 2-0 in his supplied Shanghai results. Those wins suggest Ruud can provide resistance to the favourite, but also show that a shorter, straight-set match remains a meaningful risk.
The 1.83 price requires roughly a 55% success rate, and Jodar's recent match pattern supports a modest lean above that threshold. Confidence is Medium: the deciding-set trend provides support, but the absence of game-level scores and Ruud's straight-set form prevent a stronger rating.
