Denis Shapovalov vs Raphael Collignon prediction
Denis Shapovalov will be aiming for more consistency in 2026 as he begins his season in Brisbane. There were highlights last season, as he picked up two titles in Dallas and Los Cabos. However, he suffered from a loss of form during the summer and struggled to make a key impact at the big events, as he failed to get past the third-round of any Grand Slam or Masters tournament.
Raphael Collignon went from stride to stride in 2025 and is now safely inside the top 100 of the world rankings. The Belgian enjoyed success on the Challenger Tour last year, making four finals and winning two titles. Furthermore, he got through to his first semi-final on the ATP Tour at the European Open in Brussels.
Shapovalov will be looking for a fast start as he begins another campaign on tour, and he is likely to have more than enough quality to come out on top here.
