Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Aleksandar Kovacevic from the USA will face off against Luca Nardi from Italy in their first tour-level meeting. Their previous encounter at the Estoril Challenger saw Nardi defeating Kovacevic 6-2, 6-3 on clay in the Round of 32.

Kovacevic, aged 27, currently ranks World No. 69 with a career-high of No. 62. In 2025, he holds a record of 12-17 with 2 finals appearances. Notable achievements include breaking into the Top 100 in January 2024, reaching his career-high after defeating Rublev, and making it to his 2nd ATP Tour final in Los Cabos. He won Challenger titles and made his Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros in 2023.

Having played college tennis at the University of Illinois and graduating with a finance degree in 2021, Kovacevic has shown dominance on hard courts this season. Seeking his first ATP Tour win on Chinese soil, he looks to face top seed Rublev in the second round.

On the other hand, 22-year-old Luca Nardi, ranked World No. 85 with a career-high of No. 67, has had a strong year in 2025 with an 8-12 record and a quarterfinal appearance in Dubai. Notably, he achieved a career-high after reaching the quarterfinal in Dubai and made headlines by defeating Djokovic at Indian Wells as a lucky loser.

Nardi, who shares his hometown with Moto GP legend Valentino Rossi, has recorded most of his wins on hard courts this season. Making his way up the rankings, he showcases his potential as he looks to build on his success in Hangzhou this year, having lost in the first round last year. With a solid Challenger record and a passion for riding motorcycles, Nardi is a player to watch in upcoming tournaments.
