Alexander Zverev v Juncheng Shang

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
A. Zverev to win1.05
Price too short today - wait for 1.12 or bigger · our chance 89% · market 90/9, us 89/11

A. Zverev is 9-1 over the last ten and 31-9 on hard this season. J. Shang is 3-7 over the last ten and 6-9 on hard this season.

The pick is A. Zverev to win. We make it a 89% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.12 or bigger. At 1.05 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

An opinion from the numbers, not a guarantee. 19+, bet responsibly.

Ranking points fall off a year after they are earned, so a player who went deep here last year must match it or drop in the rankings. That shapes effort in a way the price does not always show.
