Tennys Sandgren vs Denis Shapovalov Tennis Prediction

This is the first meeting between these two players. While Shapovalov has outperformed Sandgren in the Masters events so far in his career, being the better player on clay makes Tennys Sandgren the slight favorite in this first round contest between two debutants.

Tennys Sandgren News

The 2018 Australian Open quarterfinalist Tennys Sandgren ended his poor run of form by finishing as the runner-up at ATP Houston last month, but he has failed to build on it as he is again going through a three-match losing run at the moment.
Since making his third appearance at Houston, the American made three consecutive debut appearances at Monte Carlo, Barcelona, and Estoril but could not win a match in any of them, losing to Philipp Kohlschreiber, Malek Jaziri, and Francis Tiafoe, respectively.
Despite posting his career-best slam result (QF at the Australian Open) and making his maiden final appearance on tour (at Houston), Tennys Sandgren’s 2018 tally is still in the negative territory, 11/13.
