Can wild card Juncheng Shang knock out the top seed Alexander Zverev. They meet in the second round of the outdoor hard court China Open in Beijing. Zverev is in top form, but he does tend to play some long sets and our prediction here is more than 9.5 games in set one.
The winner will face either sixth seed Novak Djokovic or wild card Bu Yunchaokete in the quarter-finals.

Our Alexander Zverev vs Juncheng Shang Prediction
Alexander Zverev has won his last eight matches in singles tournaments. The impressive run has seen him win the US Open and he is the top seed in this tournament in Beijing. His last two matches have both seen a 7-6 opening set, rather than a dominating start.
Juncheng Shang has been a lot higher in the rankings, but his career has been blighted by injuries. He is nowhere near as consistent as he was at one stage in his career. Our Alexander Zverev v Juncheng Shang prediction is more than 9.5 games in set one.
