One of the tournaments taking place this week comes our way from Hangzhou, China, where on Wednesday, Valentin Royer and Adam Walton will lock horns for the first time as professionals. As he's narrowly ranked above his French opponent, the Australian competitor may fancy himself to get the job done here, though he's up against a player who thrived under these very conditions a year ago, so coming out on top won't be easy, especially as he's lost two on the bounce prior to this match.
The early betting market has Valentin Royer down as a very narrow favorite, but it's not hard to make a case for the French player having stronger market support. Value bettors should consider supporting the man who reached the final of this event in 2025 to come out on top at anything bigger than -149.

Our Valentin Royer vs Adam Walton Prediction
This looks like a greater opportunity for Valentin Royer than both the rankings and the early odds would have us believe. Odds of -109 do not accurately reflect how strong the Frenchman's chance of success is. He thrived at this event a year ago, reaching the final, while he's lost only one of his last six hard-court matches, showing much more consistency than his opponent, who didn't exactly thrive in Hangzhou a year ago, exiting at the first-round stage.
