Joao Fonseca vs Denis Shapovalov prediction

Denis Shapovalov powered into the quarter-finals in Basel with a straight-sets win over Valentin Royer.

The ninth seed took charge in a first-set breaker and then raced clear to post a 7-6 6-2 victory.

The Canadian will now meet Joao Fonseca for a spot in the last four after the Brazilian received a walkover following seventh seed Jakub Mensik’s withdrawal.

This will be a first ever meeting between the pair and it promises to be a big-hitting affair.

Both players can go through purple patches which suggests this could have fluctuating momentum and may got three.

Shapo has the better form in recent times, however, and will target the South American’s weaker backhand as part of his game-plan.
