Pre-match view
Zheng's superior hard-court record and recent Wimbledon form give him a slight edge over the struggling Landaluce, but the match is likely to be close.
The best value lies in over 22.5 total games, as both players tend to play extended matches, and Landaluce's high double-fault rate could extend rallies. Back Zheng to win, but expect a tight contest that may go to a deciding set.
