THE LOWDOWN
World number 21 Denis Shapovalov reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon last season before defeat to eventual champion Novak Djokovic but, barring some brief flurries of excellence, the Canadian has struggled ever since. The 23-year-old took eventual champion Rafael Nadal to five sets in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open back in January and then beat the Spaniard at the Italian Open to reach the last eight there but a 3-9 record since suggests he will struggle to reach the second week in New York.
THE PREDICTION
26-year-old Marc-Andrea Huesler is in the form of his career at 26 years old and he represents exactly the kind of player Denis Shapovalov has often struggled against when out of form. The Swiss will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 85th this week after reaching a first semi-final on tour at the Winston-Salem Open and he will know to take the game to Shapovalov on Tuesday, waiting for the Canadian’s typical lull over five sets to pounce. Huesler will also have more joy against Shapovalov’s fierce serve as a fellow left-hander, so back the Swiss to win at least a set, perhaps two, and leave the winner up to chance.
