Martin Damm vs Shintaro Mochizuki prediction

Martin Damm continues to make great strides in 2026 after recently firing his way into the top 100.

The American ,22, pushed Frances Tiafoe all the way at the US Open and will be feeling good about his tennis overall in what is a breakthrough year.

The world number 90 meets Shintaro Mochizuki for the first time in Chengdu with the Japanese struggling to make much impact since his surprise run at Wimbledon.

The qualifier may hope the switch to Asia can help him conjure up some of his best tennis again, but a confident Damm is going to serve big and should have too much firepower in this match-up in these conditions.
