Pronostic ATP Open d’Australie
Great poster for the second round of the Australian Open next night between the Canadian Denis Shapovalov and the Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
Is Denis Shapovalov on the path to regain his best level? Injured during 2023, the Canadian had difficulty getting back on track with his career with ups and downs last season. But winner of the Belgrade tournament before going on vacation, the North American concluded his season on a good note. Will the start of 2025 have been in the same vein? Not really since Denis Shapovalov did no better than a first round in Hong Kong then a second round in Adelaide. Results which did not prevent the 56th player in the world from winning in the first round against Roberto Bautista Agut in 4 contested sets. A real physical and mental fight which turned in favor of the Canadian, values which will have to be found next night during a second round against Lorenzo Musetti.
Author of his best career season last year, the Italian knows that he has a different status following his semi-final at Wimbledon and his bronze medal at the Olympics in 2024. Still running in last week at Hong Kong, the transalpine recovered well to win in the first round against his compatriot Matteo Arnaldi. The 15th player in the ATP nevertheless had to work hard to dominate his opponent in 4 close rounds. A test which will have given confidence to Lorenzo Musetti before continuing his journey in Melbourne with a new test against Denis Shapovalov.
