THE PREDICTION
World number 27 Denis Shapovalov received a bye to the round of 16 at the Delray Beach Open as the third seed here and he will be eager to make a statement after losing his opener in Dallas last week to eventual, surprise, champion Yibing Wu. The 23-year-old reached the third round of the Australian Open last month before a five-set defeat to Hubert Hurkacz, which is no great embarrassment in and of itself but there is so much potential in the Canadian that looks increasingly like it may be wasted as he continues to struggle with consistency, focus and in-game management. 25-year-old Michael Mmoh overcame Aleksandar Kovacevic in three sets on Tuesday and the American should snap his career-high ATP world ranking of 83rd set last month after his own run to the third round in Melbourne. Mmoh also lost to Yibing Wu last week in Dallas but a four-set result over Alexander Zverev last month stands out, despite the German playing well under par on the day.
All this is to say that this is a proper head-scratcher. Shapovalov is just as likely to blast through in straight sets here as capitulate under the pressure of in-form Mmoh’s mentality. Leave this match out of an accumulator but otherwise consider taking Mmoh to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
