Miomir Kecmanovic vs Denis Shapovalov prediction

Denis Shapovalov will aim to make it six of the best against Miomir Kecmanovic.

The Canadian leads the match-up 5-0 with four of the five victories on outdoor hardcourts.

At 47 in the world, Shapo sits 17 places better off in the rankings and he will be buoyed by a recent run to the final in Los Cabos.

Kecmanovic’s form has been more patchy and the scar tissue of the head-to-head may be too much for a player not quite firing on all cylinders.
