Adrian Mannarino vs Aleksandar Vukic prediction

Adrian Mannarino enjoyed his best run at a Masters 1000 event this season in Shanghai, as the veteran reached the third-round. This included an impressive victory over Roland Garros finalist Flavio Cobolli in three sets. His campaign would end in straight sets against Karen Khachanov. Mannarino has still been competitive on tour in 2026, with his best result being a runner up finish at the Open Occitanie in Montpellier.

He takes on Aleksandar Vukic in round one. The Australian failed to qualify for Shanghai, and he could only muster a second-round appearance in Jinan on the Challenger Tour after a comprehensive defeat to Tomas Machac. Vukic has 30 losses from 56 matches this season, and he is ranked outside the world’s top 100.

The head-to-head is tied at 2-2. They did play each other in the second-round of this event in 2024, with Vukic winning on that occasion. Mannarino is the player in better form, and he can take advantage of any Vukic errors.
