LiontipsHassan vs Shapovalov: Predictions and Bets for the ATP Orleans Match on September 24, 2024
Command Analysis
Current Form
Hassan has played only three matches on indoor hard courts this season, securing just one victory. Last week, Benjamin competed at the tournament in Saint-Tropez, where he lost to Richard Gasquet in the first round.
Professional Qualities
Hassan specializes in clay surfaces, with most of his tournaments taking place at the Challenger level. He possesses a solid game with both hands and a strong first serve. However, Benjamin lacks the consistency needed to break into the top 100 of the world rankings. One area where Hassan struggles is in return of serve.

On indoor hard courts this year, the Canadian has recorded an equal number of wins and losses with three victories and three defeats.
Professional Attributes
Shapovalov is a distinctive player with a complex technique. As a left-hander with a one-handed backhand, he requires maximum focus and excellent physical condition. However, recently, the Canadian has struggled with concentration issues. Despite his talent, he does not always display consistent performance.
