Juncheng Shang vs Francisco Comesana prediction

It was an injury-hit campaign for Juncheng Shang last year, as he was forced to miss half of the year after undergoing surgery on his foot. It all began so promisingly at this very tournament in 2025, getting through to the last four before losing to veteran Kei Nishikori. His results on his return weren’t particularly inspiring, but there is hope that he can put his fitness worries behind him for the 2026 season.

Francisco Comesana is his first-round opponent. The Argentine produced his best results on his favoured clay, making the semi-finals in Rio and also getting through to the quarters in Bucharest and Gstaad.

They have played once before, with Shang comfortably beating Comesana 6-2 6-1 in the first-round of the Winston-Salem Open in 2024. The Chinese player enjoys this event, having made back-to-back semi-finals here, and he’s decent value for a win here on his return.
