Carlos Alcaraz vs Zizou Bergs Live Streaming: Shanghai Masters 2026 Tennis Match Start Time, Prediction And Where to Watch in India, USA, Spain

Carlos Alcaraz is set to take on Zizou Bergs in the third round of the 2026 Shanghai Masters, with the world No. 1 looking to extend his impressive run during the Asian swing. Alcaraz arrives in Shanghai on the back of a successful title defence in Tokyo and began his campaign with a convincing 6-3, 6-3 win over Juan Manuel Cerundolo. He also holds a 1-0 head-to-head advantage over Bergs, having defeated the Belgian in straight sets at the 2025 Japan Open. Bergs, meanwhile, has looked sharp in Shanghai, securing comfortable wins over Vit Kopriva and Ignacio Buse. However, his record against top-10 opponents presents a significant challenge as he prepares to face one of the tour’s leading players.

The matchup is expected to feature an intriguing battle from the baseline, with Alcaraz’s powerful forehand, speed and ability to turn defence into attack likely to test Bergs throughout the contest. The Belgian will need to serve consistently, take advantage of shorter balls and play aggressively to prevent Alcaraz from controlling the rallies. Shanghai’s hard courts could reward both players’ attacking instincts, but Alcaraz’s recent form and previous win over Bergs make him the favourite heading into the encounter. A victory would send the Spaniard into the Round of 16 and bring him one step closer to another deep run at the final Masters 1000 event of the Asian swing.
