STOCKHOLM SF: SHAPOVALOV V. SUGITA

They've only played once in 2017, and Denis won in 3, but it was very close. It went to a third set tie-breaker. Denis always seems to stall in the semis. Can he break the pattern? If so, what is the likelihood he can win against Sugita. He's won easily so far, but neither of these guys were a challenge. I'm going out on a limb and saying Denis in 3.

I'm not going out on a limb, A fresh Shapo in an easy 2 against a tired Sugita.

 

[Gary Duane]

Menace in 2, but that's more hope than belief. I'd love to think this kid is finally going to win something. Of all the young guns I like his game the best, but so far you never know with Denis...

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

Really hope Denis can take him out in 2, but my gut tells me he’ll find some way to lose a set.

 

[prairiegirl]

Nope! Hasn't lost a set yet.

Shapo's first ATP final?
