On Saturday, at the ATP event in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, Italian player Mattia Bellucci has what I would describe as a significantly harder task than the early market would suggest. He takes on Chinese player Zhizhen Zhang, who is a serious competitor in these parts. For my money, betting on the home-soil player to get the job done is well worth doing at what are generous-looking odds.

Our Zhizhen Zhang vs Mattia Bellucci Prediction

In all honesty, it's quite surprising that Zhizhen Zhang isn't a stronger favorite ahead of this match. Sure, the Chinese player does have a patchy overall record and he's only just ranked inside the top 50, so he's not one of the very best ATP players, but he's ranked much higher than Bellucci, that's for sure. Moreover, his recent record in this part of the world is very pleasing, while he won with authority when the pair met on this surface last season. That's enough for me to conclude that he's well worth betting on at odds of -120. Our Pick: Zhizhen Zhang to Win.
