Jesper de Jong vs Gabriel Diallo prediction
Jesper de Jong is up to his highest ranking of 74 in the world as he begins his season in Hong Kong. There were positives for the Dutchman to take from his 2025, as he got through to his first ever final on the ATP Tour in Bastad, losing to Luciano Darderi. He also achieved his best result at a Masters event as he reached round three in Shanghai.
He goes up against Gabriel Diallo. The Canadian also made strides last season, winning his first ever tour-level title at the Libema Open, while he also got through to the quarter-finals in Madrid, his best result at a Masters tournament. He rose to a ranking high of 33 in August, and is still around the top 40 of the world rankings.
Diallo’s powerful game may give him an advantage, and he will be the favourite to begin his campaign with a victory here.
