Lorenzo Sonego vs Shang Juncheng prediction

Juncheng Shang will aim to thrill the home crowd once again in what could be a lively clash with Lorenzo Sonego.

The Chinese wildcard defeated Francisco Comesana 6-4 6-4 in his opener here but will need an even better showing to sink the Italian fifth seed.

Sonego looked sharp in a 6-2 7-6 success over Rei Sakamoto and will know he needs one of his more focused all-round performances to come out on top. 

Ranking will matter little in this given the impact Shang has made when fit and firing. The 20-year-old is a vastly superior player to his current standing of 406 in the world and in front of his home support he is worth a punt at an upset.
