Michael Zheng v Yanki Erel
Match preview, prediction and odds
Our pick
LeanLOSTM. Zheng is 6-4 over the last ten and 21-11 on hard this season. Y. Erel is 7-3 over the last ten and 44-15 on hard this season.
The pick is M. Zheng to win. We make it a 77% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.31 or bigger. At 1.21 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

This season & this event
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.
