Tennis forecast: Marco Cecchinato - Alexander Shevchenko

In the 1/8 finals of the clay challenger in Poland, Russian tennis player Alexander Shevchenko will play against Marco Cecchinato from Italy.

Marco CecchinatoThe 29-year-old representative of Italy started at this tournament the day before yesterday.

In the 1/16 finals, Cecchinato had a very confident match and defeated his compatriot Gianmarco Moroni – 6:3; 6:1. At the very beginning of the match, the tennis players exchanged breaks, after that they played steadily for a while, but at the end of the first set, Marco broke twice in a row and eventually took the first game. In the second set, Cecchinato immediately made two consecutive breaks, and then Marco, due to competent work on his serve, calmly brought the meeting to victory. The tennis players spent one hour and twenty minutes on the court.

Alexander ShevchenkoThe 21-year-old Russian tennis player, in turn, started the tournament in Poland yesterday.

Shevchenko met our expectations in the 1/16 finals and beat Frenchman Manuel Ginard in two sets – 6:2; 6:3. At the same time, the match did not start very well for Shevchenko, Alexander immediately lost the game on his serve, but the Russian tennis player was able to quickly gather himself and from the score 1:2 he was able to make three in a row break, which allowed you to pick up the set with a crushing score. In the second set, there was a very unstable game on the court, but Shevchenko was still able to pick up the game with three breaks and two lost games on his serve. As a result, the tennis players spent one hour and fifteen minutes on the court.

Also yesterday, Alexander Shevchenko played a doubles match on this challenger. Together with his compatriot Ilya Gakhov , Shevchenko lost in three sets to Dustin Brown from Germany and Andrea Vavassori from Italy – 4:6; 6:4; 3:10. The tennis players spent one hour and twenty minutes on the court. 

ForecastIn this match, Marco Cecchinato is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite.

However, the Italian does not always play consistently and sometimes he loses to very modest opponents. Here Shevchenko is quite capable of imposing at least a good fight, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 20.5 games on the total.
