Yi Zhou will be progressing in the Chengdu Open following an impressive showing against fifth seed Cameron Norrie. The wildcard will be up against Christopher O’Connell in his second-round match, and the winner will face Luciano Darderi, Alejandro Tabilo, or Jordan Thompson. Below is our prediction.
World number 304 Zhou caused one of the biggest upsets seen in Chengdu, recovering from losing the opening set to beat Norrie. That was the player’s first match at the tour level this season, and he’ll be looking to keep the momentum.
Placed 306th in the live ranking, Zhou has won at least a set in each of his last six matches. He reached the second round here on his debut last year.
O’Connell will be looking to avoid defeat to the wildcard but will be confident in his own run to this stage. The Australian is coming off a battling performance to beat Frenchman Quentin Halys in the first round.
He rose from losing the first set in the match and has, therefore, bettered his performance here last season. On his debut in Chengdu in 2023, O’Connell reached the quarter-final but fell in the first round last year.
His season hasn’t been all great, the Australian only reaching the Bucharest quarters on the tour. He also has a 2-6 record in second-round matches at the tour level this season. O’Connell comes into this game at 101st place in the live ranking.
