Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 23.5 – 1.77.
Murray hasn’t been playing well on the hardcourt lately either. It will be even harder for Murray on clay. We doubt that Andy will be able to put up much of a fight against Shapovalov. The former world number one is unlikely to be able to withstand the long draws.
Murray’s last four matches have ended in two sets. It’s unlikely to change much tonight.
Murray got lucky with his opponent in the first round. Andy faced Dominic Thiem. Since his return, Thiem is far from his ideal playing form. He is now not the formidable opponent who used to crush almost all his opponents. Today Thiem is a poor copy of his former self. No wonder Murray beat him easily (6-4, 6-3).

It is worth noting that this was Murray’s first victory on the clay in five years. Since his return to the tour, Andy has avoided duels on this surface. It is well known that playing on the ground is energy-consuming. With a metal plate in his hip, it is not easy to play long matches.
Denis Shapovalov:
In 2018, Shapovalov reached the semi-finals at this tournament. That result is still considered the most successful for the Canadian. Never again has Denis performed better in the Spanish capital.
Huge match on the horizon! ?

This season Shapovalov’s first opponent at the tournament in Madrid was Ugo Humbert. The Frenchman is not having the best time right now. He was in crisis, so he could not offer good resistance to the Canadian. Denis won (7-6, 6-3).
