Denis Shapovalov and Antoine Bellier are scheduled to face each other in the second round of the 2022 ATP Stockholm Open on October 19.
Despite his potential and prowess, Denis Shapovalov has only participated in five championship matches on the main tour, two of which took place at ATP Stockholm. He won his first (and only) title at this level here in 2019 and came in second place to Tommy Paul the previous year. In the opening round of his lone previous match on indoor hard courts this year in Rotterdam against an inexperienced qualifier, the gifted Canadian lost depressingly in straight sets, 4-6 4-6, to Jiri Lehecka.
On his first outing in Stockholm, Antoine Bellier overcame fellow qualifier Alexander Shevchenko in two straightforward sets to go to the second round. In two sets, he generated 11 breakpoint opportunities, and 6-4 6-2, he made five of them good. The Swiss qualifier beat Pablo Carreno Busta (R2) and Tallon Griekspoor to get to the semifinals in Mallorca during this year’s grass swing, which was the last and only time he did it on the main tour.
