Grigor Dimitrov vs Denis Shapovalov odds Player NameMoneylineHandicap BetsTotal Game (Over & Under)Grigor Dimitrov Denis Shapovalov Betting odds will be updated soon Grigor Dimitrov vs Denis Shapovalov prediction Dimitrov has been the Cincinnati Masters champion in 2016 Shapovalov and Dimitrov will be coming to Cincinnati off of their losses to Alex de Minaur in the first and second rounds in Montreal, respectively. Dimitrov, however, will enter the contest as the favorite. The 31-year-old has been the Cincinnati Masters champion in 2016. The Bulgarian possesses a fluid game but is mainly defensive. He plays a one-handed backhand. Unlike other players, he is known to use his backhand slice as an attacking strategy and earn points. His athletic style of play makes him an excellent mover on the court. The Canadian, meanwhile, is very aggressive with his game. He is a left-handed player with a one-handed backhand and can thus cause trouble for his opponents. Shapovalov counts on his powerful forehand and destructive serve to win matches. He is flexible and can use it to his benefit. That said, Shapovalov has been out of form in recent times and has been piling up on unforced errors due to his high-risk game. Dimitrov will be more composed of the two and should be able to advance to the second round. Pick: Grigor Dimitrov to win in three sets.
