LiontipsShapovalov is a Makhach. Forecast and bets for the ATP Dallas match
Command Analysis
Current form
Shapovalov beat Taylor Fritz in the second round of the Dallas competition (2-6, 6-3, 7-6). Denis made 15 aces in the match against the Americans, made one break point and lost two games on his serve. The Canadian defeated Miomir Kechmanovich in the first round.
Professional qualities
Shapovalov prefers an aggressive style of play, but his one-handed backhand remains a weak point. It's enough for rivals to increase the pressure on his backhand to force the Canadian to make mistakes. At the same time, Denis has always had success on a fast surface. He moves pretty well in the back line, he has a good first serve and an accurate forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Shapovalov currently holds the 54th place in the world ranking. Last season Denis won the indore tournament in Belgrade. Currently, the Canadian tennis player has won eight trophies, two of which are in the ATP category.
Interesting facts for betting
Shapovalov has scored 8 wins in his last 12 matches against tennis players from the top 50 in the world rankings.
Current form
Makhach defeated Rinki Hijikata (6-4, 7-6) in the second round of the Dallas tournament. Tomas made ten aces during the match, made three break points and lost two games on his serve. In the first round, the Czech turned out to be stronger than Kei Nishikori.
Professional qualities
Makhach is an attacking player who does not like to act as the second number and expect an opponent's mistake. The Czech is happy to use his serve—and-net combination. Over the past year, he has significantly improved his forehand game. However, his backhand remains unstable, which continues to be one of his weaknesses.
Current indicators in the tour
Makhach currently occupies the 25th place in the world ranking. The 24-year-old Czech tennis player has won ten titles in his career. He completed the last of them in 2023 at the Muiron-le-Captif indoor courts.
Interesting facts for betting
Makhach won 8 of the last 10 matches against tennis players with a one-handed backhand.

Bet on the total
Both tennis players are showing good form at the Dallas tournament, and the fight to reach the semifinals is likely to be fierce. The courts in Dallas are fast, which creates some difficulties for the players at the reception. Considering that both Shapovalov and Makhach have a powerful serve, we can assume that we are not waiting for long draws and perhaps even tie-breaks.
The second forecast is a total of more than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.96
Bet on the first set
In three of Makhach's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming meeting against Shapovalov will also begin with the "grassroots" first game.
