Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-3) for Shapovalov – 1.62.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Under 23 – 1.63.
Shapovalov has shown quite good results on the American hard courts. He reached the third round at the Cincinnati Masters and played in the third round of the US Open. We believe Denis will be able to return a good result in Seoul as well. We expect a solid start for the Canadian at the tournament.
Shapovalov has been in good form for the last two months, performing well in both Cincinnati and the US Open. In both tournaments, he reached the third round. We believe that Denis will be able to return a good result in Seoul as well. We suggest betting on a confident win for the Canadian tennis player in the upcoming match.
For Munar, it’s not his favourite part of the season, when he will have to play mostly only hard.
One can easily deduce from recent tournaments that this is not his surface.
Before the Seoul tournament, Jaume had won only one of his previous five matches on hard court at the ATP main level. The Spaniard made the rounds in Winston-Salem at the end of August.
In Seoul, Munar’s first opponent was Yosuke Watanuki (2-1, walkover). Yosuke was unable to complete the match, withdrawing after three games.
Munar has had exactly two sets in three of his last four matches.
Shapovalov will play his first match since the US Open. In New York, he reached the third round. Given his previous results, this performance can hardly be considered a failure.
After beating Marc-Andrea Huesler (2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1) and Roberto Carballes-Baena (6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2), Denis lost to Andrey Rublev (4-6, 6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-7). He was really unlucky against Rublev, losing the tie-break game in the fifth set.
Before that, Shapovalov made it through two rounds at the Masters in Cincinnati. He was stopped by Daniil Medvedev (5-7, 5-7) in the third match.
Shapovalov has been working with Mikhail Youzhny again recently. Apparently, working under the guidance of the former eighth-ranked player in the world is working to his advantage.
Shapovalov has lost five meetings in a row as a favourite.
In 3 of Shapovalov’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.75.
Munar has not played a tie-break in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 1.50.
