One of the matches due to take place at the ATP event in Chengdu, during the final few hours of Tuesday for those in the US, sees Juncheng Shang and Adrian Mannarino clash. This is a match between the man who is currently ranked 253rd in the world and a player who holds a current rank of 78th. The early market has Juncheng Shang down as a sizable favorite here, but is that really easy to agree with? For our money, absolutely not.
The Chinese player has won this event before, doing so in 2024, and that does entitle him to plenty of respect. However, it looks as if the early market is focusing a little too heavily on that 2024 success. Make no mistake about it, Shang has moved in the wrong direction since winning this event, while it's not as if Mannarino is without form in Chengdu, plus he's the much higher-ranked player, who has played much more recently, which could give him a preparation edge.

Our Juncheng Shang vs Adrian Mannarino Prediction
Make no mistake about it, Adrian Mannarino has lost his way in recent times, losing far too frequently, but let's face it, he's not exactly up against an in-form opponent. Juncheng Shang is also out of form, while he really could be less prepared than the French player, who has competed much more recently. Moreover, Mannarino has the positive experience of having beaten Shang before, which is more than can be said for the Chinese competitor.
Taking everything into consideration, regardless of the fact that Shang has previously won this event, in the right-here-and-now, the odds are simply out of whack. Adrian Mannarino has a better chance of avoiding a straight-set defeat than odds of -133 would have us believe. Take the value on offer.
Our Juncheng Shang vs Adrian Mannarino Pick: Adrian Mannarino +1.5 Set Handicap.
