Denis Shapovalov vs Kwon Soon-woo: Prediction

Both the players will be coming into this match on the back of grueling 3-hour opening round wins.

Kwon needs to improve his second serve to have any kind of chance to win against the Canadian. Shapovalov is well known for his big serve, but is also susceptible to errors because of his risky shot-making and will be looking to reduce them to avoid an upset

Prediction: Shapovalov to win in three sets.
