Valentin Vacherot vs Coleman Wong prediction

Valentin Vacherot has not been able to hit the same heights as he managed towards the end of last season, which included his stunning triumph at the Shanghai Masters, but he has still picked up victories in the first few weeks of the 2026 season. Vacherot reached the third-round of the Australian Open, and this was preceded by a run to the quarter-finals of the Adelaide International. His run in Delray Beach last week was more short-lived, as he lost in the first-round to Alex Michelsen in straight sets.

He faces Coleman Wong in round one. Wong only enters the draw as a lucky loser, but he put in a string of strong displays in Delray Beach last week as he made it from qualifying all the way to the quarter-finals. This included wins over Nuno Borges and Brandon Nakashima, and he was very close to making the last four as he lost to Flavio Cobolli in three sets.

Vacherot is still the favourite for this one, but Wong will take confidence from his showing in Delray Beach and knows he can make this a very competitive first-round encounter.
