Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Denis Shapovalov Tips

Denis Shapovalov is on a roll this week. He took advantage of accessible rivals and won each of three matches in two easy straight sets. Kovacevic surprised Rublev in the semis, but it had more to do with Rublev's performance. Denis Shapovalov is looking good in Mexico and should win the title.

Shapovalov has served very well in this tournament but he faces a player with an equally good serve and his groundstrokes should cause him trouble.

Going with Denis to win this game as he has won all 3 games so far in this tournament without dropping a set. The Canadian is also higher ranked.

Kovacevic has been in good form on hard courts and he has the power to match Shapovalov on his groundstrokes. He can come out on top.

Shapovalov tends to start matches with intensity and momentum, particularly when he’s confident. Against an opponent like Kovacevic, who may take time to adjust to the pace, Denis should dominate the opening frame comfortably.

Kovacevic looks like a good value play against an inconsistent Shapovalov, who can struggle when his serve is not on fire.
