Bautista-Agut vs. Shapovalov. Prediction and bets on the Australian Open match

Current form

Bautista Agut has played only one match this season. He played it in the tournament in Adelaide - in the first round Roberto lost to his compatriot Alejandro Davidovich Fokin. Last season on open hard courts the Spaniard had 11 wins and 13 losses.

Professional qualities

Bautista Agut is one of the most consistent players on tour, making the most of his stamina and well-thought-out tactics. The Spaniard prefers long rallies on the baseline and is able to methodically destroy his opponent game while maintaining a high tempo. When in good physical shape, it becomes extremely difficult to break through his defense, especially on slow surfaces. Roberto rarely makes mistakes and always acts coolly even in difficult moments.

Current indicators in the tour

Bautista Agut is the 53rd racket in the world. The Spaniard was once ranked ninth in the world. The Spaniard finished last season with a trophy - he won the tournament in Antwerp, in the final of which he beat Jiri Lehecka. For Roberto, this was the 26th title in his career.

Interesting facts for betting

Bautista Agut often loses hard court matches against top 100 players. He has won only 11 of his last 24 such matches.

Current form

Shapovalov played in Hong Kong on the eve of the Australian Open, where he lost to Kei Nishikori in the first round. He also took part in the competition in Adelaide, which he left after the second round, losing to Marcos Giron. Last year, Denis had nine wins and ten losses on open hard courts.

Professional qualities

Shapovalov is an attacking player who always strives to break through his opponent with powerful blows. The Canadian actively uses both forehand and a spectacular one-handed backhand, focusing on aggressive rallies and finishing points with powerful winners. However, psychological instability prevents him from achieving stable results. After bright victories, Denis often goes to the next match in a depressed state, which leads to failures.

Current indicators in the tour

Shapovalov is the world 56th racket, although the Canadian was once ranked tenth. Last year, Denis won the title at an indoor tournament in Belgrade, in the final of which he beat Hamad Medjedovic. For the Canadian, this was the eighth title in his career.

Interesting facts for betting

Shapovalov has won most of his matches against Spanish tennis players in his career. Of the 30 matches he has played, he has won 19.
