Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22.5 – 1.85.
Paul knows exactly how to beat Shapovalov. After all, he’s already done it recently. At the tournament in London, Tommy, at the very least, should put up a fight against Denis.
Paul beat Shapovalov in three sets at a tournament in Stockholm in 2021. That was the only face-to-face meeting between them. It is possible that the same scenario could happen again.
Shapovalov seems to be on another losing streak. It’s hard to say what’s going on with him, but at this pace, it won’t be easy to get back into the top 10.
Last week, Denis lost to Oscar Otte (6-7, 6-7) in the first round at the tournament in Stuttgart. He could not do anything on the German player’s serve, who won both sets on a tie-break.
This defeat was the fourth in a row for Shapovalov. The unpleasant series started at the Masters in Rome, where the Canadian reached the quarter-finals. He then failed at Geneva and Roland Garros.
Last season, Shapovalov reached the semi-finals in London, where he lost to Cameron Norrie (5-7, 3-6).
Shapovalov has come out victorious in 7 of his last 10 matches on grass as a favourite.
Paul hasn’t been very successful lately either. He has a similar situation. After the Masters in Rome he has not won a single match so far.
At the tournament in Hertogenbosch last week, Tommy lost to Brandon Nakashima (7-6, 6-7, 6-7). It is worth adding that all three sets of the match went to a tie-break.
Unlike other surfaces, Paul has so far played very rarely on grass. The only exception was the 2019 season, when he appeared at three tournaments at once, but did not win a single one at the main grid level.
Paul has lost 5of his last 6 matches in the first round of the main draw.
In 3 of Shapovalov’s last 4 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 10.5” with the odds of 2.23.
In Shapovalov’s last three matches a tie-break was played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 1.78.
