Late on Wednesday evening, at least for stateside viewers, Denis Shapovalov will continue his title defense at the ATP event in Los Cabos. Standing in the Canadian's way is home-court hopeful Rodrigo Pachecho Mendez, who as a youngster, lacks experience at this level. Having fought hard to come through the first round, the Mexican will be feeling confident, and he likely will have plenty of support from the home crowd, but this remains a huge ask for the young player.
As the defending champion, Shapovalov will clearly be looking to go far this week, and this match presents him with a huge opportunity to cruise into the quarter finals. Our advice is to bet on him to secure his last-eight spot by defeating a much lower-ranked player in straight sets.

Our Denis Shapovalov vs Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez Prediction
Over the last year or so, Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez has faced a few top-100 players on a hard surface, but he's come up short on every occasion, losing each of his three such matches in straight sets. This does not exactly point towards him upsetting the defending champion, who has won four of his previous five Los Cabos matches in straight sets. Clearly, there's a sizable gap in quality between these two players, while there's a chasm in experience too.
At odds of -110, Denis Shapovalov is well worth betting on to make the next round without dropping a set.
