Denis Shapovalov has had mixed fortune this season. Barring from an amazing run he had at Wimbledon where he reached the semifinal, he hasn’t tasted much success on the tour. He lost opening matches at both Toronto and Cincinnati Masters and reached the third round of the US Open where he lost to Lloyd Harris. He then lost the only match he played at the Laver Cup and made it to the quarterfinals of the San Diego Open.

In the second round at the Californian desert, Shapovalov won the match after Vasek Pospisil was forced to retire trailing 0-3.

As for Aslan Karatsev, he made headlines at the Australian Open where he reached the semifinals as a qualifier before losing to the eventual champion Novak Djokovic. He then won his first title of his career at Dubai. He also reached the final of Serbia Open where he beat World No.1 Novak Djokovic on his home soil. However, since then, he’s been in terrible form and hasn’t cleared the opening rounds.

None of the players are in form and hence there’s no clear favorite. Both of them bode well with the surface and have tasted success this season. This will be a great matchup between Karatsev’s raw hitting and Shapovalov’s movement. Expect the match to go down the distance with Karatsev outplaying the Canadian.

Prediction: Karatsev to win in three sets.
