Delaney vs Broady Prediction 30 October 2026
🎾 The quarter-final of the Ningbo Challenger in China brings together Australian Jake Delaney and British player Liam Broady. The match is on hard court, where both players have already won two matches. Broady is ranked higher - 231st against his opponent's 356th - though his recent results cast some doubt on his status as favourite.
Jake Delaney Player Overview
Jake Delaney has had a fairly successful season on hard courts. In 2026 the Australian has won 50 matches on the surface against 27 defeats, a win rate of around 65%. He has had to show some resilience in Ningbo. One of Delaney's strengths is his serve - he hit 15 aces against Binda and another 10 in the following match against Zhou. His starts have been less convincing, though: across his last two matches he has won one first set and lost one. How quickly Delaney finds his rhythm and holds serve will be a key factor in this match.
Match Results: Jake Delaney
Liam Broady Player Overview
Liam Broady ranks higher than his opponent and has solid experience at Challenger level. That said, his current form is far from ideal: he has won just three of his last ten matches. In Ningbo, Broady won twice in three sets but struggled on both occasions. He has dropped the first set in five of his last six matches - a pattern that is particularly relevant here, as he has frequently found himself having to recover from a set down.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
The main argument in favour of the Australian is Liam Broady's inconsistency in opening sets. The Briton has lost the first set in 11 of his last 12 matches. A further factor is Delaney's solid hard-court form throughout the season. Broady has also been taken to a deciding third set twice already in this tournament, which points to a lack of consistency even in matches he has won. The pick is Jake Delaney to win the first set.
