Denis Shapovalov vs Sebastian Ofner Prediction & Betting Tips - ASB Classic
by Kennedy Kechula in Tennis Predictions
Denis Shapovalov makes his tour return and will play seventh seed Sebastian Ofner in the first round in Auckland. A second-round showdown with either Roberto Bautista Agut or Roberto Carballes Baena will await the winner. Denis Shapovalov was last active in July as he made it to the fourth round at Wimbledon. He played with an injured knee in the tournament but after being eliminated he went into rehabilitation. The hiatus led to him tumbling out of the top 100 in the ATP and is currently ranked 114th in the live ranking. Shapovalov is a former Auckland quarterfinalist. Before the injury disruption last season, the Canadian won half of the 26 matches he had contested.
Sebastian Ofner had an excellent start to the season and will be buoyed to get things going here. The Austrian began his campaign in Hong Kong where he made it to the semifinals. Last season he played in only one tour semifinal while alternating between the tour and challenger circuit. He is currently ranked 37th in the ATP. A winning start here will propel him one place up the live ranking and into a career-high world placing. Ofner, who won 60 matches last season, is making his Auckland debut.
