Two unseeded players face each other in round one of the indoor hard court Chengdu Open. James Duckworth takes on Lorenzo Sonego Both are struggling for wins at present, but Duckworth had a recent win over his opponent and our prediction is he will win a set in this match.
Whoever wins will be up against either unseeded Jenson Brooksby or eighth seed Sebastian Baez in round two.
Just before last month's US Open, these two players faced each other in the Winston Salem Open. Duckworth won that match in straight sets, his first win over Sonego. That was their first match since 2022 and two previous meetings had both been won by Sonego on grass courts, one with two tie-breaks.
Duckworth went on to reach the semi-finals in Winston Salem, retiring in the second set.
He has lost three of his last four matches. A set has been won in eight of his last nine completed matches.
Lorenzo Sonego is 86th in the latest rankings, 21 places below his opponent. He is also going through a rough patch of form at present. His loss to Duckworth in Winston Salem was the first of three successive defeats he has suffered. Five of his last six matches have seen him lose at least one set.
