Zizou Bergs vs Roberto Bautista Agut Prediction

Zizou Bergs is on fire so far in 2025 and the 25-year-old Belgian looks set for a career-season if he can maintain this outstanding form. He got to the final in Auckland at the start of January losing to Gael Monfils in the final and then reached the semis in Marseille last week before losing to eventual winner Ugo Humbert.

He is not only progressing nicely in tournaments, but he is beating some quality opponents along the way that is sure to see his confidence improve and he now sits at a career-high 58 in the world.

He takes on Roberto Bautista Agut who has a fabulous record in this tournament having won it twice in 2019 and 2022 and finished runner-up in 2021.

The 36-year-old has had a difficult start to 2025 however having entered three tournaments so far and being eliminated without a win in each of them. He is going to have to lean on history as he tries to find some form but everything points towards Bergs in this one.
