Thsi week, as well as the Brisbane International, there's also ATP action in Hong Kong, where the Hong Kong Open, won last year by Alexandre Muller, takes place. Very late on Wednesday evening, going into Thursday morning, there's a match between Lorenzo Sonego and Jenchung Shang, and it's a match that catches my eye from a betting point of view.
Lorenzo Sonego made a winning return to action last time out and now has a decent chance of building momentum by beating a much lower-ranked player, though the Italian can't afford to take it easy as his opponent is very familiar with winning matches in this part of the world.

Our Lorenzo Sonego vs Juncheng Shang Prediction
Juncheng Shang is playing in a part of the world that he is rather familiar with, while he typically plays his best tennis at Asian tournaments of this nature. However, this is far from an easy match for the player currently ranked down in 406th.
Lorenzo Sonego as the world number 39 really ought to be winning this match, and I think the early betting mark is underestimating his chances. We saw Sonego make a winning return to action in Hong Kong on Tuesday, and with that effort under his belt, he can shift through the gears and get the job done here. After all, he has a strong hard-court record in matches such as this.
