Matteo Berrettini vs Giulio Zeppieri prediction
Matteo Berrettini made his comeback to the tour after over two months out due to injury during the Asian swing, but it did not go as planned as the Italian lost three of his four matches. It began in Hangzhou, with a first-round loss to Dalibor Svrcina. He did pick up a win in Tokyo against Jaume Munar but was then defeated by Casper Ruud and Shanghai was also short-lived as he was defeated in straight sets by Adrian Mannarino. Berrettini will be hoping to get matches under his belt between now and the end of the season as he aims for a healthier and more successful 2026.
He goes up against a fellow Italian in Giulio Zeppieri in round one. Zeppieri qualified for the tournament, having failed to do so in Shanghai after a loss to Svrcina. The world number 160 did win a Challenger title at the beginning of last month and also picked up his first ATP main draw win of the season in Hangzhou as he got through to the second-round.
This is a match Berrettini should be winning, and his strong serve will be even more of a weapon indoors.
