Zhizhen Zhang vs Arthur Gea prediction

Zhizhen Zhang will eye a first main-draw win since the grass swing against Arthur Gea.

This will be a first meeting between the pair with the French qualifier, Gea over 100 places better off in the rankings.

The 21-year-old recently won the title in Los Cabos and will be a strong favourite, but Zhang has the serve to do damage and will be desperate to deliver on home turf.

Theirs is scope for the upset, but it’s more likely to be a stern test for Arthur, who should come through if he plays with the confidence and level of recent months.
