It’s a tricky game ahead of us when Yunchaokete Bu and Zhizhen Zhang face off on home ground in the RO32 of the ATP 250, Hangzhou. It’s tricky because the betting odds are overwhelmingly in favour of Bu, but in the only meeting, Zhang won in straight sets. See our best pick in this Yunchaokete Bu vs Zhizhen Zhang match prediction.

Yunchaokete Bu has come a long way and climbed to 74th in rankings since his straight sets defeat to Zhizhen Zhang, so it’s no surprise that he’s the favourite in this game. However, we can’t rule out Zhang, who has the psychological advantage after beating Bu 12 months ago in this same tournament. So, our next best pick is the “two total sets” bet.

For one, their only H2H ended in two sets. But what’s more telling is the number of straight sets games in both players' recent games. For Bu, seven of his last ten singles appearances ended in straight sets. Similarly, 11 of Zhang’s last 16 singles have ended in straight sets. And that’s a pattern we see playing out when the two Chinese players meet on home court again.

Yunchaokete Bu saw his last game end in straight sets also, when he lost to Valentin Royer in the US Open Grand Slam. Zhang put up more of a fight in his last outing, where he managed to grab a set in his 2-1 defeat to 35th-ranked Gabriel Diallo.
