Fabian Marozsan vs Michael Zheng prediction

Michael Zheng could prove to be a real crowd favourite the longer he stays in this tournament. The 22-year-old from Chesapeake, Virginia is a real fighter on the court and showed that throughout the qualifiers, toughing out two matches that both went the distance, to book a place in the first round Where his physical and mental resilience is set to be tested again.

Fabian Marozsan should come out of the traps aggressively as he looks to take an early lead and ram home the advantage. But Zheng has recent experience in playing the long game and that could prove critical. Back this match to end in three sets, regardless of the winner.
