Taylor Fritz and Denis Shapovalov will face off in the second round at ATP Basel on Thursday. The two will be pitting their wits for the 12th time in their careers. Shapovalov has the edge, and our prediction backs him to extend his run.
Fritz has had a tough year, and came here straight from a fourth loss in a final, in Lyon. Putting that setback behind him means he must try and better his past performances in Basel.
He had a flying start with a straight-set win over Rinky Hijikata in the first round. In his last three appearances here, Fritz lost in the second round. In the live rank, Fritz is placed 12th and has won 73% of his indoor hardcourt matches.
Shapovalov has had more joy in this round than Fritz in the past years. The Canadian advanced to the quarter-finals in his last two appearances here and will look at this as a winnable encounter.
He has beaten Fritz six times in their 11 previous meetings, which should give him the confidence he needs here. The biggest motivation Shapovalov has is a decent record against top players.
This year he has faced seven top-20 ranked players and won six times. Placed 51st in the live rank, he is coming off a straight-set win over Remy Bertola and hopes to rise from his inconsistent ways in recent seasons.

Our Taylor Fritz vs Denis Shapovalov Prediction
Fritz will be looking to rise past the second-round stage, having failed in each of his last three appearances. In that respect, this looks like a tough match, especially given Shapovalov’s performances here. The Canadian has advanced to the quarter-finals the last two seasons.
With his performance against top-20 players this season, there is a high chance he will prevail here again. Fritz trails in this fixture and has specifically struggled against Shapovalov in indoor meetings. With that in mind, our prediction for Taylor Fritz v Denis Shapovalov is that Denis Shapovalov wins.
