The 2025 China Open begins in Beijing, marking the start of one of the standout ATP 500 events on the calendar. With plenty of big names in the draw, fans can expect exciting battles from the very first day. As always, LWOT will be providing predictions for every match throughout the tournament, including Jannik Sinner vs Marin Cilic. But who will advance?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head: Muller 0-1 Khachanov<\/p>\n
This is an intriguing matchup on paper that should feature some crisp backhand-to-backhand exchanges. On his day, Muller can produce a level that tests most opponents, but consistency remains an issue for him. Khachanov, on the other hand, is a well-established presence on tour and, with his current form keeping him in the hunt for a place at the year-end championships, it\u2019s hard to see Muller stopping him here.<\/p>\n
Prediction: Khachanov in 2<\/em><\/p>\n Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n Serve will be crucial in this match, as both players are more than capable of punishing second serves. Atmane showed good form to qualify for the main draw here and has produced glimpses of his potential this season, most notably with a semifinal run in Cincinnati. Zhang, on the other hand, has been plagued by injuries, and a dialed-in Atmane might prove too big a challenge too early for him.<\/p>\n Prediction: Atmane in 2<\/em><\/p>\nTerence Atmane vs Zhang <\/strong>Zhizhen <\/strong><\/h4>\n
