Denis shapovalov Vs marton fucsovics: Match Preview
Denis Shapovalov, the sixth seed, will encounter Marton Fucsovics in the inaugural round of the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championships in 2022.
The Canadian began the season with a bang, winning the ATP Cup for 2022. He weathered the storm known as ‘Alexander Zverev,’ but he faltered in his match against Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open 2022. Shapovlaov has also only won one match since returning from Australia. His inconsistency is a strong barrier in his path. Therefore, something immediately requires changing for the Canadian, or his ambitions of climbing to the top ten of the global ranking will go in vain.
However, Fucsovics, unlike his opponent, had an unfortunate performance in Australia. The Hungarian advanced to the second round of the Australian Open prior to actually succumbing in five sets against Dusan Lajovic in his first match. This winter, Fucsovics is putting up a lacklustre performance. Although, It’s worth noting that he started to display signs of recovery in February. The Hungarian looked great in Rotterdam and Doha, and it’s feasible that he’ll keep adding in the Dubai Championship. Even if he fails to claim the title, he can put up a decent fight against his adversaries.

Denis shapovalov Vs marton fucsovics: Who Will Be The Ultimate Winner?
Shapovalov will undoubtedly begin the match as the mass favourite, but his recent form suggests otherwise. Despite this, the Canadian would do his utmost to make up for his failures in previous key events. There is no preventing him in the battle if he utilizes his abilities correctly.
On the other hand, Fucsovics is the type of player that may pose difficulties for the Canadian. Despite his lacklustre service, he is usually dependable and does not get cracked much. We anticipate him to defeat the skilled rival in at least one game. Furthermore, Shapovalov’s aggressive style of play has a good possibility of knocking Fucsovis out. Given the Canadian’s outstanding performance against Rafael Nadal, it will be difficult to stop him if he maintains his command on the contest fast.
Prediction: Shapovalov to win in three sets.
