Shan - Davidovich-Fokina. Betting Tip for the Australian Open match
Shan and Davidovich-Fokina will meet in the first round of the Australian Open on January 12. Shan finished his pre-season training earlier than usual due to his participation in the youth final tournament. The start of the new season was marred by an injury, due to which the Chinese tennis player had to withdraw from the tournament in Hong Kong. Has Junchen managed to fully recover for the major? - bets on the upcoming match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Juncheng Shang
ChinaCurrent form
Shan started the new season with a semifinal at the tournament in Hong Kong. At this stadium he met Kei Nishikori, and was unable to continue the meeting with the famous Japanese, withdrawing from the match in the first set with a score of 3-4. Last year, on open hard courts, Chungchen recorded 25 wins and ten losses.
Professional qualities
Shang is a left-hander and relies on a mobile forehand in his game, which forces opponents to constantly move around the court, which gradually wears them down. Junchen prefers fast surfaces, where he has achieved good results during his career. The 19-year-old Chinese moves around the court well and already reads the game well for his age.
Current indicators in the tour
Shang is in the top 50 of the world rankings. Last season, the 19-year-old Chinese won his first ATP trophy. It was a victory at the Chengdu tournament - in the final of that tournament, he beat Lorenzo Musetti. In total, Juncheng has won six titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Last year, Shan managed to reach the third round on the courts of the Australian Open.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
SpainCurrent form
Davidovich-Fokina played in two tournaments ahead of the Australian Open. In the Hong Kong tournament, he lost to Jaume Munyar in the first round. And at the tournament in Adelaide, following the results of the second round, the Spaniard lost to Sebastian Korda. It should be noted that last year, Alejandro had 13 wins and 12 losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Davidovich-Fokina is a tennis player who plays on the edge of risk. His powerful forehand and equally strong backhand allow him to win often in terms of the number of winners. However, such an aggressive style of play leads to a large number of unforced errors, which in the last season exceed the number of successful hits. In addition, the Spaniard is hampered by his hot temper, which is why he has not yet been able to return to his previous level of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Davidovich-Fokina was once ranked 21st in the world. However, he is now ranked 68th. The Spaniard has won only three titles in his career. He won his last one in 2019, winning the competition in Liuzhou, where he beat Denis Istomin in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Four of Davidovich Fokina last six matches have been played in straight sets.

2.09Tip and bets
Shan has been showing better tennis than Davidofich-Fokina in recent months. The 19-year-old Chinese feels comfortable on open hard courts - at the beginning of the year, we recall, he reached the semi-finals in Hong Kong. We believe that the start in Melbourne will be successful for him.
Our prediction is Shan victory with odds of 1.83

Both head-to-head encounters between the tennis players took place last season. Both the Miami and Madrid matches were played in two sets. Most likely, the upcoming meeting between Shan and Davidovich-Fokina will also be a low-scoring one.

Three of the last five Davidovich-Fokina matches have seen more than 9.5 games played in the first set. The upcoming match against Shan will likely also start with a high first set.
