Shapovalov is the favourite in this pairing. However, it’s not all so clear. The only head-to-head encounter between the two players ended in Albot’s victory. In addition, Radu is in good form after winning the Challenger in Istanbul. We believe that Albot will fight with Shapovalov for victory in the upcoming match.
The only head-to-head encounter between the tennis players ended in two sets, but in the upcoming match, we expect a slightly different scenario. Shapovalov and Albot are in good form at the moment, so their next head-to-head encounter is sure to be a long one.
Albot has not lost a single set so far this week. In the first match, he defeated Hiroki Moriya (6-3, 6-4).
In the second round, Radu won on two tie-breaks against Steve Johnson (7-6, 7-6). Here, of course, he was just a little luckier than his opponent.
Albot’s winning streak already stands at seven matches. In mid-September, he won the Challenger in Istanbul.
Albot won two matches in a row for the second time in a season at the ATP main draw level. Radu reached the third round at the Australian Open earlier this year.
Radu Albot has won seven in a row on the hard court.
Shapovalov has not had a productive game for his fans for a long time. Denis got off to a great start this season, winning the ATP Cup with Canada and then reaching the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
Shapovalov, meanwhile, started the tournament with a victory over Jaume Munar (7-5, 6-4). The game, as expected, was tense.
Denis lost his serve twice but converted four break points to beat Jaume.
It is worth noting that Shapovalov won 75% of the points on his second serve. He was not as efficient on the first serve.
In 4 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 1.86.
