Denis Shapovalov will watch to keep his campaign at 2025.
Shapovalov was in good shape in the second half of 2024, winning the title in Serbia. However, the beginning of 2025 was not good for the former player of the Top 10 because he only won in two matches who entered Dallas Open.
However, in closed hard courts, Shapovalov showed a good level. In the first round, he played a trler’s thriller, winning 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3 against Miomir Kecmanovic. The Canadian played his best match against Top Seeda Taylor Fritz in the next round. After sharing the first two sets, the third went to Tiekbreak, and Shapovalov upset the homemade favorite 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (2).
Thomas Machac, on the other hand, has a record 7-3 in 2025. The Czech player had a great trip to United Cupwhere he took his land to the semifinals; There he had to retire against Taylor Fritz. After the third round on Australian open (Lost to Novak Djokovic), Machac also won in his match against soon-woo Kwon on Davis’s cup.

Denis Shapovalov vs Tomas Machac Predictive
In his match against Taylor Fritz, Shapovalov won 67 percent of service points and 30 percent of his return points, which was lower than his opponent’s statistics. However, the differential seemed to have been a Canadian composition in pressure situations, especially in the third set. Shapovalov lost only one point on his first service in the first set and did not face any interruption, despite serving.
Meanwhile, in his match against Rink hijikat, Machac hit 10 aces and showed strong serving performance, winning 70 percent of service points along with 41 percent of return points. However, the Czech player could only make 63 percent of his first services.
Machac has been in good shape this season, but the Czech player has problems playing consistent tennis, along with his fitness concerns. In the meantime, Shapovalov seems to be returning to form, and his victory over Fritz would give him huge confidence. The Canadian will have a slight edge in the match.
