Alexander Shevchenko vs Botic van de Zandschulp prediction
Alexander Shevchenko advanced to the next round after a straight-forward win over Radu David Turcanu. He created nine break point opportunities, converting four of them as he sealed a 6-2 6-4 win after one hour and 14 minutes. Shevchenko defeated Ben Shelton on his way to reaching the third-round of the Miami Open in his last event.
He now faces Botic van de Zandschulp. The Dutchman also came through in straight sets, beating Francesco Maestrelli after just an hour and 10 minutes. Van de Zandschulp converted all four of his break points as he won 6-2 6-3.
There is little to separate the pair. Shevchenko will look to extend the rallies and force his opponent into errors, while Van de Zandschulp may look to go on the offensive early with flat hitting from the back of the court. This has a strong chance of heading into a deciding set, as both eye a quarter-final spot in Bucharest.
