Prediction published on 9/17/25, 2:17 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 9/18/25 at 12:45 PM in Tennis Picks

Mariano Navone of Argentina dukes it out with American rising star Learner Tien on Wednesday in the first round of the 2025 Hangzhou Open.

Mariano Navone (-116 at +2.5 game spread): Navone gets a 2.5 game head start in this match for the reason that he’s also a +136 underdog against a much younger Tien. After cracking into the top-30 on the ATP World Rankings last year, Navone has crashed all the way down to No.82 after posting a 29-25 record on the tour this year, including a measly 5-9 record on the hard court.

Learner Tien (-116 at -2.5 game spread): The 19-year-old Tien has already established himself as a force to reckon with on the tour despite his young age. He has put together a 17-10 record on the hard court this year and also reached the round of 16 at the 2025 Australian Open. Tien, a +166 moneyline favorite, is 15-18 against the ATP top-100 in 2025, though he also parades a 4-2 record against top-10 players this year.
