After a cloudy couple of months, the 26-year-old bounced back by reaching another final at the Libema Open. Bergs is currently ranked No. 45 in the world, which is a career-best statistic for him. He has just hit 25 wins for the season, and wins 73% points on first serve. The Belgian also earned his maiden Top-10 win in 2025 &ndash; over Andrey Rublev in Miami.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zizou Bergs vs. Chun-Hsin Tseng Highlights | 2025 US Open Round 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eqVT60sg4o4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Alcaraz and Bergs do not have a head-to-head record as yet.

The 22-year-old had his foot heavily taped up against Baez, and seemed to reassure his fans that he felt better as the match went on. However, Bergs will need to take the attack to the Spaniard by playing first strike tennis. Provided he can stay strong on serve and redirect Alcaraz&rsquo;s second serves into the corners, the game could open up.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
