Denis Shapovalov vs Leo Borg prediction
Shapovalov couldn't make the headlines during the Asian swing last month. He has a great chance to capture his third title of the season in Stockholm. The Canadian has a steady all-around game and needs to be more optimistic on the court.
Borg, on the contrary, has reached the second round in Stockholm for the first time in five years. He's constantly improving his game and needs to keep at it to make his mark. The Swedish pro likes to play a patient brand of tennis and relies on his forehand a bit too much.
Considering their record on the main tour and experience at the highest level, Shapovalov will be a clear favorite to come out to top. The Canadian should be able to absorb the early pressure from the youngster and provide the killer blow in the second round.
Pick: Shapovalov to win in straight sets.
Denis Shapovalov vs Leo Borg betting tips
