Zizou Bergs
Zizou Bergs is the Belgian who has turned a late start on tour into the best season of his career. Named after Zinedine Zidane, he reached a career-high World No. 33 in August 2026 and won his first ATP title at Eastbourne earlier that summer. At the 2026 US Open he came through Carlos Taberner and then Jesper de Jong in four sets to reach the third round, where he meets fellow unseeded threat Botic van de Zandschulp.

Playing Style & Strengths
Bergs is built around a heavy first serve and a willingness to shorten rallies rather than out-grind opponents. He is at his most effective indoors, where the low bounce suits a flat two-handed backhand and the conditions reward his serve, and Antwerp has long been his favourite week of the year. The trade-off is consistency across a long outdoor swing: he can win three sets in a row on serve and then lose a set 6-1, which is exactly the pattern of his 2026 US Open run so far.
Bergs Betting Tips & Predictions
Bergs is a live outsider rather than a place-market play. His serve keeps sets close enough that game handicaps and set-betting markets are usually the better vehicle than an outright win, and his indoor record is a genuine edge the wider market is slow to price. Against top-20 opponents on outdoor hard he has yet to prove he can sustain a level for four sets. Odds are approximate at time of writing.
