Shapovalov and Borges will meet in the second round of the tournament in Belgrade on November 6. Shapovalov has a wider arsenal of technical moves and demonstrates greater stability indoors.

Command Analysis
Denis Shapovalov
CanadaCurrent form
Shapovalov won the first round of the competition in Belgrade against Marton Fucsovics (6-7, 7-5, 6-1). In the confrontation with the Hungarian, Denis served eight aces, converted five break points and lost a game on his serve once. For the Canadian, this was the ninth victory indoors this season with five losses.
Professional qualities
Shapovalov is known for his quality serve and his desire to pierce opponents with aces. His playing style is inconvenient for opponents, as he is left-handed with a one-handed backhand. Despite such nuances, Denis has powerful strikes from both sides and makes quick decisions, trying to quickly finish rallies.

Shapovalov highest position in the world rankings was a few years ago - he was number ten, but now he is in 78th place. The Canadian best result this year is the quarterfinals at the competition in Washington.

Professional qualities
Borges prefers an attacking style of play, building his actions from the serve and sharply hitting from the baseline. The Portuguese often uses the serve-to-net tactic and is most effective with the forehand. He skillfully catches opponents when they enter the court, sending the ball straight to their feet.
