ATP Chengdu Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Yannick Hanfmann vs Shintaro Mozikuchi<\/h4>\n

Head to head<\/strong> – First Meeting<\/p>\n

Yannick Hanfmann could be the dark horse this week as his game style suits faster courts well. The German has got a fairly easy first round\u00a0as he faces Shintaro Mozikuchi who is yet to win a match on the ATP main tour. While the Japanese has done well to qualify, expect Hanfmann to win this one.
\nPrediction: Hanfmann in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Christopher O’Connell vs Pavel Kotov<\/h4>\n

Head to head<\/strong> – O’Connell 0-1 Kotov<\/p>\n

Pavel Kotov on paper looks the stronger player but on recent form not so much. Christopher O’Connell is coming into this match after winning a challenger event while Kotov was ousted in the first round at the US Open<\/a>. Mentally the Australian would be in a more confident mindset and that should help him nab the victory.
\nPrediction: O’Connell in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
