Guido Pella

Last season was Pella's most successful season. He won the tournament in Sao Paulo, beat Cordoba in the final and reached the quarter-final stage in various competitions. Thanks to this, Guido climbed to the 20-th line in the world ranking.

Now the Argentine is not doing so well. After the restart, he managed to win only one match. In the first round of Kitzb?hel he defeated the Japanese Nishioku (6-3, 6-0). On the other hand, immediately after that he lost to Feliciano Lopez (5-7, 7-6, 6-7).

Denis Shapovalov

Shapovalov performed very successfully at the US Open. The Canadian made it to the quarterfinals, removing Sebastian Corda, Korean Kwon, Taylor Fritz and David Goffin from their path. But in the ? final, the Canadian lost to Pablo Carreno-Buste (6-3, 6-7, 6-7, 6-0, 3-6). After that Denis did not play, so the fight against Pella will be his first on clay this season.

It should be noted that Shapovalov does not perform well on this surface. For example, last year on clay he had only two victories. The representative of Canada does not really like long rallies, so he is not enough in the game on the back line for a long time.
