Day 4 at the ATP 250 event in Hong Kong will feature the four remaining last of 16 matches, with top seed and defending champion Andrey Rublev in action along with several other talented players and exciting matchups. While on paper this tournament isn’t as strong as Brisbane, it has delivered some great tennis so far and that trend should continue tomorrow.
ATP Hong Kong Day 4 Predictions
Nuno Borges vs Jaume Munar
Head-to-head: Munar 1-0 Borges
Borges avoided eliminating by the skin of his teeth against Bu in the first round and now, on paper, has a kinder matchup for his second round. While it won’t be easy for sure, Munar tends to struggle on hard courts (despite a good win over Dadidovich Fokina in the first round here) and Borges will be extra motivated knowing that a win here is necessary to stay in contention to be seeded at the Australian Open.
Prediction: Borges in 2
Gabriel Diallo vs Lorenzo Musetti
Head-to-head: Diallo 1-0 Musetti
Musetti had an excellent 2024 season and he has clearly been steadily improving on hard courts, but he is still someone that lower ranked players have belief against on this surface. Diallo hasn’t been particularly impressive this week and he is a young, talented player on the rise and will surely create Musetti quite a few problems here.
Prediction: Musetti in 3
Juncheng Shang vs Pedro Martinez
Head-to-head: Martinez 2-0 Shang
While Martinez won their two previous meetings, those were both on clay and Shang has made a lot of progress since and seems to be one of the fastest rising ATP player. Shang seems poised to have a big 2025 season ahead of him and a matchup against Martinez on hard courts should be highly favorable to him at this point in his career.
Prediction: Shang in 2
Andrey Rublev vs Fabian Marozsan
Head-to-head: Rublev 1-0 Marozsan
While Rublev is yet to have a breakthrough at Slam level, his best-of-three performances make him a mainstay in the top 10. He won this tournament last year and, looking at the draw, he is the favorite to do it again this year. Marozsan has been struggling quite a bit lately and his draw here hasn’t made him any favors, though if he finds a way to win here he will have an excellent chance of aiming for the title.
Prediction: Rublev in 2
