Alexander Shevchenko vs Radu David Turcanu prediction
Alexander Shevchenko picked up one of the best wins of his career in Miami as he came from a set down to beat Ben Shelton. This resulted in him making it through to the third-round, where he would lose to Ugo Humbert. That result came as a surprise, as Shevchenko has struggled to produce consistent results for quite some time. He reached the quarter-finals at the Adelaide International, but that was right at the start of the year.
He faces Radu David Turcanu in round one, with the young Romanian having received a wildcard for this event. He competed in Davis Cup qualifying last month, losing his singles match to Alex Santiago Nunez Vera of Paraguay. The 20-year-old is ranked outside of the top 600 in the world, but he will look to pull off an upset with a surprise win here.
Nevertheless, Shevchenko’s top-level experience makes him a clear favourite to defeat the youngster and advance to the next round.
