Daniel Altmaier vs Denis Shapovalov prediction

Denis Shapovalov begins his bid for a third title of the year against Daniel Altmaier. 

The Canadian is aiming to push back inside the top 20 and recently came up trumps in Los Cabos. 

Altmaier’s struggles seemed to turn with a push to the third round at the US Open but he trails Shapo 1-0 in the match-up and knows this contest may well be on his opponent’s racquet. 

If Shapovalov fires on the serve and plus-one it’ll be a tough ask for the German, who will hope to stay solid and frustrate the world number 26 into one of his more erratic performances.
