Vit Kopriva vs Denis Shapovalov prediction

Vit Kopriva will meet Denis Shapovalov for a second timewhen they lock horns for a quarter-final berth in Chengdu.

The Czech won in three sets when they met in Gstaad back in 2021 but will expect a tougher proposition on a hardcourt.

Kopriva saw off wildcard Jia Hu 6-4 7-5 in the first round while Shapo looked strong in a 6-4 7-6 victory over Tallon Griekspoor.

The conditions favour the Canadian here and if he can maintain the consistency that saw him take down Grieki, you’d fancy him to have too much firepower in this match-up.
