Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Denis Shapovalov prediction
Denis Shapovalov meets qualifier Nicolai Budkov Kjaer in the second round in Madrid.
The Norwegian underdog progressed when Reilly Opelka retired from his opener trailing 5-3.
It gives the world number 140 a shot at the 31st seed, but it’s hard to see the 19-year-old having enough to upset Shapo.
The Canadian was surprised in the last eight in Munich and will be keen to avoid allowing another underdog to take his scalp, particularly in fast conditions he will enjoy.
Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Denis Shapovalov tip: Denis Shapovalov to win 2-0
