Shapi Shapo

Which Shapovalov will we be entitled to tomorrow?

Still the same problem with Shapo, he can play top10 one day and top100 the next. He is even capable of fighting on his own at times! Not reassuring when we know that Moutet is an expert at making his opponents crack with his ground coverage. But Shapo is one of the few to have the necessary power, even on earth, to succeed in overtaking Moutet with a racquet swing. The conditions are quite fast in Bucharest with a high bounce, it's better for Shapo rather than having a heavy ground where the ball doesn't move forward. In H2H we note a victory for Moutet at Estoril in 2021 where his realism made the difference, not necessarily his game. The Frenchman excels on clay and has not played on another surface this season, it is clear that he is leaving with this advantage! On the other hand, the surface does not completely define a match appearance.
