Beibit Zhukayev. Agatha gives Zhukayev a 54% chance to win and predicts a 2-0 win in sets. It is Agatha's prediction for this match, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picks Zhukayev

Adam Walton arrives on a four-match losing run, the latest at the Rolex Shanghai Masters. He lost to Valentin Royer 6-3, 6-4 in Round 1 of the AITO Hangzhou Open on Sep 23, and to Te Rigele 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the first qualifying round of the Rolex Shanghai Masters on Oct 5. Beibit Zhukayev beat Colton Smith 7-6, 7-6 in the first qualifying round of the Rolex Shanghai Masters on Sep 29, 2025. Agatha picks Zhukayev to win, a little better than a coin flip, and predicts straight sets. The risk is Zhukayev lost to Alex Michelsen 6-2, 6-3 in Round 1 of the Almaty Open on Oct 15, 2025.
