Yi and Mannarino are on the Day 4 Schedule at Chengdu Open 2024 on Saturday 21 September 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
[WC] Zhou Yi from China will be facing [5] Adrian Mannarino from France in their first meeting. Zhou Yi is 19 years old and is currently ranked World No. 531, with a career-high ranking of No. 505 achieved in August 2024. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 3-1, reaching the second round in Chengdu.
Zhou Yi, a former World No. 3 junior player, earned his first ATP Rankings point in February 2023 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 505 in August 2024. He made his tour-level debut at the 2023 Davis Cup against Mexico and his ATP Tour debut as a wild card at the 2023 Zhuhai tournament. He then earned his first tour-level wins in the Davis Cup against Slovenia. On the ITF Tour, he has a record of 30-21, winning two titles in 2024 in the M15 Tianjin and M25 Tianjin tournaments. In his Challenger debut in 2023, he reached the quarterfinals in Zhuhai, defeating Rai and Sekulic (saving 3 match points). In his junior career, he had a record of 98-31, with notable runs to the semifinals of the Australian Open and the quarterfinals of the US Open in boys’ singles.
Despite initially aspiring to be a professional badminton player, Zhou Yi started playing tennis at the age of 10 under the encouragement of his uncle. At the age of 14, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes but managed to continue his training.
Zhou Yi defeated No. 121 Tseng in the first round of the tournament, and now he aims to become the first Chinese quarter-finalist in
the event’s history, along with Shang. He is seeking his first ATP Tour quarterfinal and the biggest win of his career. His previous encounter with a top 100 player resulted in a loss to No. 25 Davidovich Fokina in the first round of the 2023 Beijing tournament.
On the other side, Adrian Mannarino, aged 36, is currently ranked World No. 46, with a career-high ranking of No. 17 achieved in January 2024. He had been in the Top 75 of the ATP Rankings for 11 consecutive years from 2013 to 2023 before breaking into the Top 20 at the age of 35. He captured his first ATP Tour title at the 2019 ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament and his second title at the 2022 Winston-Salem tournament. In 2023, he had a personal-best record of 43 wins and achieved ATP Tour titles in Newport, Astana, and Sofia. Notably, he earned his first win against a top 5 player by defeating No. 5 Cilic in 2017 to reach the biggest final of his career in Tokyo and his biggest win by defeating No. 3 Medvedev in 2023 at ‘s-Hertogenbosch. He reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in 2022 and 2024, as well as the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2013, 2017, and 2018. However, he has a winless record of 0-22 against top-10 players at Grand Slams.
Mannarino’s goal is to reach his 62nd ATP Tour quarterfinal and his second of the season after reaching the semifinals in Dallas in February. If he achieves this, he will become the oldest quarter-finalist in the tournament’s history.
