Carlos Alcaraz vs Zizou Bergs prediction
Carlos Alcaraz will hope to shrug off an ankle issue heading into a first clash with Zizou Bergs.
The Spaniard looked like he may have to retire after falling to the floor in his opener with Sebastian Baez before recovering to claim a 6-4 6-2 win.
All eyes will be on how the world number one responds to treatment now.
If the six-time major winner is fit, then he will be a major favourite to see off the Belgian.
Bergs outlasted Chengdu champion Alejandro Tabilo 1-6 7-6 7-6 last time out, but given Alcaraz’s recent form, he will need the top seed to be less than 100 percent to progress here.
It may be worth watching some of the opening set first to check on Alcaraz's fitness, but if he takes to court he'll surely have way too much for an inconsistent Bergs.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Zizou Bergs tip: Carlos Alcaraz to win 2-0
