THE PREDICTION
19-year-old Jerry Shang will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 104th after a thrilling comeback over clay specialist Corentin Moutet, edging past the Frenchman in four hours on Wednesday via a 12-10 deciding tiebreak. The teenager has enjoyed an excellent start to what looks to be a full breakthrough season on tour in 2024 but he will likely be feeling the after-effects of that epic here against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who will enjoy a partisan atmosphere as a cult home figure in Madrid.
The world number 28 has won just one of his last five matches on tour to suggest Shang can cause a huge upset if he can recover well on Friday but that one win came against the Chinese up-and-comer at the Miami Open this time last month to throw a spanner in the works. The sensible call is backing ADF to earn at least a set in conditions that should favour him but consider taking Shang to do the same off the back of a statement result.
TIP: JUNCHENG SHANG TO WIN A SET
