Dino Prizmic vs Aleksandr Shevchenko prediction

Whilst Dino Prizmic is ranked just inside the top 100, Aleksandr Shevchenko is on the outside looking in and hoping to change that. Prizmic has been the better player when it comes to the big stage though, specifically in Grand Slams. This year has seen the Croatian reach the second round at both the French Open and Wimbledon, whilst Shevchenko was a first-round exit on each occasion.

These two players are closely matched in terms of ability and both will be hoping to use their respective power to their advantage, especially on serve. It would be a big shock if this match proved to be a blowout and we should see the battle go deep with Prizmic and Shevchenko capable of dominant periods. With that in mind, back either a four or five set affair, regardless of who comes out on top.
