Denis Shapovalov and Hyeon Chung are going to clash in what should be the most interesting 1st round in Tokyo.
Shapovalov
Ranked no.31, Denis is looking forward to winning his first ATP title. The Canadian didn’t shine in the second part of the season. In fact, after reaching the semifinals in Madrid, he has never managed to win more than 2 matches in the same event.

Chung
Ranked no.23, Hyeon had also a not so great second part of the season. In fact, after reaching the semifinal at the Australian Open, the quarters in Indian Wells and Miami, he won 2 matches in the same tournaments only in a couple of occasions.
Denis Shapovalov vs. Hyeon Chung H2H
Denis and Chung played each other only on one occasion during the NextGen finals in Milan when the South Korean won 1-4 4-35 4-34 4-1. Difficult to pick a favorite here/ Probably Shapovalov may have an edge.
