Denis Shapovalov and Marin Cilic meet in the round of 32 at Hertogenbosch on Monday. Marin Cilic is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (4 of the last 10). Denis Shapovalov limps in on a 4-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.
Nothing separates them historically — the head-to-head sits at 3-3. On grass specifically it reads 1-0 Cilic — worth more than the overall number this week.
There's a wide gap in our ratings on grass, and our number follows from it. If Cilic plays anywhere close to a normal level, this ends in relatively comfortable fashion.
