Alexander Shevchenko vs Sho Shimabukuro prediction
Alexander Shevchenko targets a first main-draw win since the Australian Open at Indian Wells.
The Kazakhstani world number 88 takes on qualifier Sho Shimabukaro for the first time at the top tier but did beat the Japanese hopeful 6-3 6-3 in a lower tier clash in Sumter last year.
The world number 113 came through qualifying and did reach the round of 16 in Acapulco recently, suggesting he could cause an issue, but only if Shevchenko is below par.
