Shapovalov has not impressed in recent matches. He seems to be approaching Wimbledon in a sub-optimal playing condition.
Shapovalov came to Wimbledon to defend last year’s semi-final. However, his first match is unlikely to be an easy one. Rinderknech is a tennis player with a strong serve. Even in sub-optimal playing conditions, this component of his game will help Arthur to stay afloat for a while. Most likely, the encounter will not end quickly.
Shapovalov came to Wimbledon after a terrible series of defeats, which began at the Masters in Rome.
In June, Denis failed at three tournaments at once – in Stuttgart, London and Mallorca. In all cases, last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist dropped out after the first round.
Shapovalov lost first to Oscar Otte (6-7, 6-7), then to Tommy Paul (4-6, 6-2, 4-6) and then to Benjamin Bonzi (4-6, 1-6) in Mallorca.
It is difficult to say why this is the case, but apparently, the day when Shapovalov will change coaches is not far off. Usually, tennis players always do that when there is no game or result.
Shapovalov reached the Wimbledon semifinals last year.
Rinderknech has not shone in recent tournaments either. True, unlike Shapovalov, he at least managed to win one match.
He got through the first round in Stuttgart with a victory over Ugo Humbert (7-6, 6-2). Then, he was defeated by Benjamin Bonzi (6-7, 2-6).
In Halle, Rinderknech failed to qualify. In his first qualifying match, Arthur lost to Marc-Andrea Huesler (6-1, 6-7, 6-7).
Rinderknech qualified for Wimbledon last year but lost in the first round to Oscar Otte (6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 7-6, 12-13).
