Ninth seed Denis Shapovalov takes on the unseeded Joao Fonseca in the quarter-finals in Basel. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will take on Felix Auger-Aliassime or Jaume Munar next. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Joao Fonseca received a walkover in the last round and arrives with a slight advantage over Shapovalov, as he has had more time to prepare.
The Brazilian eliminated Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round and was to face off with seventh seed Jakub Mensik. Fonseca is having an exciting season and thus far has won 35 matches.
Alternating between the tour and challenger circuits, the teenage sensation has moved up to 42nd in the live ranking. Fonseca was crowned champion in Buenos Aires to mark his first ATP triumph.
Denis Shapovalov got the better of lucky loser Valentin Royer to book this showdown with Fonseca. He won in straight sets, needing fewer minutes than in his three-set battle with Marcos Giron in the first round.
As a result, he has equalled last season’s quarter-final finish here. The Canadian has compiled a 26-20 record with nine of his wins coming in 10 indoor outings.
A former top 10 player, Shapovalov is currently ranked 23rd in the ATP.
