THE PREDICTION
Former world number 10 Denis Shapovalov snapped a four-match losing streak with victory over Botic van de Zandschulp at Indian Wells two weeks ago but his three-set exit to fellow struggler Lorenzo Musetti suggests he is still far from turning a corner. The Canadian is currently ranked 126th in the world after enduring the worst period of his still-young career at 24 years old but there is little sign of him finding any answers soon to make this a huge opportunity for Luciano Darderi. 22-year-old Darderi romped to victory at the Cordoba Open last month, in only his third-ever tour-level tournament, but it remains to be seen how he fares on his Masters debut and away from the clay on which he looked so natural in Argentina. Shapovalov should be winning this first encounter in comfortable straight sets but what the Canadian should be doing, and what he often does, are still vastly different spheres. Consider a one-off on a hungry Darderi taking at least a set here to leave the victor up to chance.
