Zizou Bergs vs Casper Ruud prediction
Capser Ruud’s bid to finish 2025 back inside the top 10 continues in Shanghai.
The Norwegian also remains in the ATP Race to reach the finals in Turin on the back of a semi-final run in Tokyo, but can’t afford to let up now.
The 11th seed faces Zizou Bergs for the first time after the Belgian produced one his best displays in recent times with a 6-4 7-5 success over Sebastian Korda.
Bergs is ranked at 44 in the world and if he’s on-song he has the tools to make life difficult for the Scandinavian, who has become more vulnerable to an upset over the last 12 months or so.
That said, Ruud’s form in Tokyo was a throwback to the sort of level that saw him reach two in the world and if he can recapture that here, it’ll take something impressive to beat him.
