LiontipsShapovalov - Borgesh. Forecast and bets for the ATP Belgrade match
Command Analysis
Current form
Shapovalov won the first round of the competition in Belgrade against Marton Fucsovics (6-7, 7-5, 6-1). In the confrontation with the Hungarian, Denis served eight aces, converted five break points and lost a game on his serve once. For the Canadian, this was the ninth victory indoors this season with five losses.
Professional qualities
Shapovalov is known for his quality serve and his desire to pierce opponents with aces. His playing style is inconvenient for opponents, as he is left-handed with a one-handed backhand. Despite such nuances, Denis has powerful strikes from both sides and makes quick decisions, trying to quickly finish rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Shapovalov highest position in the world rankings was a few years ago - he was number ten, but now he is in 78th place. The Canadian best result this year is the quarterfinals at the competition in Washington.
Interesting facts for betting
Shapovalov has won eight of his last ten matches.
Current form
Borges played at the Paris Masters last week. That competition ended rather quickly for the Portuguese, who lost to Alejandro Tabilo in the first round. Nuno has lost two of his two matches indoors this year.
Professional qualities
Borges prefers an attacking style of play, building his actions from the serve and sharply hitting from the baseline. The Portuguese often uses the serve-to-net tactic and is most effective with the forehand. He skillfully catches opponents when they enter the court, sending the ball straight to their feet.
Current indicators in the tour
Borges is the world 33rd ranked player with two trophies won this season. The Portuguese won the Phoenix Open Hard Court and the Belgrade Clay Court. Nuno now has 19 trophies, including three ATP titles.
Interesting facts for betting
The last two tournaments ended for Borges based on the results of the opening matches.
