Feliciano Lopez calls for number one in Stuttgart

Denis Shapovalov had already done his day's work on Wednesday, when Feliciano Lopez didn't even know whether he could even go to his. The game of the Spanish veteran against Alexei Popyrin was scheduled as the last of the day, the heavy downpour in the afternoon had the organizers ponder briefly whether this will be anything. Due to the fact that the main field only starts on Tuesday, there is no buffer zone in Stuttgart, the program should be carried out until Sunday.

The round of 16 is on Thursday, the first four seeded singles are waiting for them. At the top of the tableau is Denis Shapovalov, who is now facing Feliciano Lopez. The late shift against Popyrin turned out to be more moderate than feared, Lopez won 6: 4 and 6: 4.

First meeting between Shapovalov and Lopez

Shapovalov recently allowed himself two weeks off, the sensitivity of his shoulder was not good enough for the French Open. Mama Tessa conducted the last stress test before starting the MercedesCup, Denis made a good impression. But training and match are two different things.

There are no empirical values between the number 14 in the world, Shapovalov, and Lopez, who is listed at 62. And the world rankings shouldn't play a role in Stuttgart on Thursday either. Because Lopez feels extremely comfortable on the green playground, won the singles and doubles titles in London's Queen's Club in 2019.

The best odds for this and all other matches in Stuttgart are of course available from betway .
