Marin Cilic vs Alexander Shevchenko prediction
Marin Cilic last competed at the Miami Open, reaching the third-round. He beat Alexei Popyrin and then defeated Brandon Nakashima after saving a match point. He pushed Alexander Zverev all the way but lost in three sets. The veteran has been competitive this season, but he doesn’t have the results to show for it, except for his run to the semi-finals of the Dallas Open.
He faces Alexander Shevchenko in the first-round. Shevchenko managed to qualify for this event, while he also picked up one of the best wins of his career last month as he defeated Ben Shelton in the second-round of the Miami Open, making the third-round. He competed at the Tiriac Open last week, losing in round two to Botic van de Zandschulp.
Cilic is capable on clay and has navigated his way through a number of opening round matches this season. He is the slight favourite to advance.
