Miomir Kecmanovic and Denis Shapovalov, both unseeded, will face off next at the 2025 Dallas Open. They will battle in the first round, with the winner meeting Taylor Fritz or Arthur Rinderknech. Below is our prediction for this match.

Miomir Kecmanovic produced a semi-final finish on his debut in Dallas. This was back in 2020, but on his return two seasons ago, he fell in the second round.

He will hope to avoid another early exit and go past that semi-final finish. The Serb has won seven of 11 matches to start the season. He has produced a semi-final finish in Adelaide and also a third-round exit in Melbourne.

Currently 54th in the live ranking, Kecmanovic was in action at the Davis Cup last time out.

Denis Shapovalov has never lost when up against Kecmanovic. The Canadian has won all their five battles, with the most recent showdown being last August in Washington.

This dominance will have him confident of making a winning return to Dallas.

Shapovalov has had a shaky start to the season. In five outings, he has managed just two victories. He won his openers in Adelaide and then Melbourne. The two-time tour champion has won both his titles on indoor surfaces.

He is currently placed 53rd in the live ranking.
