Today 2/5, the first round of Madrid Open 2021 men's singles will officially start. On the first day of competition, only 4 pairs took place. The focus of this series is the confrontation between Dusan Lajovic vs Denis Shapovalov.
Shapovalov is currently ranked 10th in the world and is the No. 11 seed of Madrid Open this year. After participating in the third round of Australian Open and the Dubai Open semi -final, the style of the Canadian tennis player suddenly decreased.
Attending the first earthy ground of the year, Barcelona Open, Shapovalov had a favorable start when he defeated Jeremy Chardy in the first round. Coming to Estoril Open, the Canadian star also stumbled on the day of the Corentin Moutet.
In the first round of Madrid Open 2021, Shapovalov's opponent Dusan Lajovic – the player ranked 37th in the ATP rankings. Notably, Lajovic's performance was also a big question mark when he was just going through 4 consecutive losses. These failures come from Miami Open, Monte Carlo, Serbia Open and Munich Open. Worse even that Lajovic has a series of 5 defeats on the ground, and three of them came this season.
In the past, Lajovic and Shapovalov never met. With the bad performance that both show over the past time, the competition tonight will be very difficult to guess.
