Dennis Shapovalov’s form coming into the match

Shapovalov is coming into the Stuttgart Open on the back of a disappointing French Open campaign – he lost in the first round itself to Holger Rune. Shapovalov’s best performance this year came at the Dubai Tennis Championships, where he reached the semi-finals. The Canadian is seeded fourth in the tournament and would be aiming for a good, consistent string of results.

Oscar Otte’s form coming into the match

Oscar Otte won his first round match against Daniel Altmaier 7-6, 7-6. The World No. 59 has been in decent touch off late and recently reached the semi-finals of the Bavarian International. The German will however face an uphill task against the much higher seed, Shapovalov in the Round of 16.

Shapovalov and Otte have never faced each other before on the ATP tour. On paper, Shapovalov is the favorite going into the match in terms of experience and rankings. We are predicting a comfortable win for Denis Shapovalov.

Matteo Berrettini vs Radu Albot

Matteo Berrettini’s form coming into the match

Berrettini will be in action on the ATP tour after a gap of almost three months. The Italian is seeded No.2 in the tournament and is one of the favorites to clinch the title. Berrettini last played on the tour back in March at the Indian Wells Masters – he lost in the Round of 16 to Miomir Kecmanovic. The Italian’s best performance this year came at the Australian Open, where he reached the semis but lost to eventual champion, Rafael Nadal.

Radu Albot’s form coming into the match

Radu Albot has been in impressive touch in Stuttgart. The Moldova star won two rounds of qualifiers to make it to the main draw of the event. In the Round of 32, he defeated Portugal’s Joao Sousa in straight sets 6-2, 7-6. The match against Berrettini however, will certainly be an immensely tough challenge.
