Zizou Bergs vs Juncheng Shang prediction
Zizou Bergs is beginning to find some semblance of consistency following a surprising six-match losing streak that came on the back of a runner-up finish at S’Hertogenbosch.
The Belgian made the third round at the US Open and will be eager to make his match sharpness count in his opener in Chengdu.
The world number 46 meets wildcard Juncheng Shang who has lost all five on his tour-level matches in 2025.
The world number 138 did rise into the top 50 late last year, but is still finding his feet following a six-month absence.
The 20-year-old has met Bergs twice before in qualifying – both in 2024 – with the pair sharing a win apiece.
Shang won the most recent on an indoor hardcourt in Paris and could rise to the occasion on home turf.
This is tricky for Bergs and Shang is too good to keep losing, so it could be worth pursuing the odds for a shock or it going the distance.
Zizou Bergs vs Juncheng Shang tip: Over 2.5 sets
