Denis Shapovalov will face the world no. 100 Ilya Ivashka in the first round in Shenzhen.
The Canadian is coming from a not-so-fantastic experience in St. Petersburg where he lost a “bad match” against Martin Klizan after he was comfortably leading 6-3 5-3. The world no.34 will chase his first career title in Shenzhen where he is seeded no.6
Ilya Ivashka, 24 from Belarussia, is used to plat at Challenger level. His highest rank was 99 and he should be a big threat for the Canadian.
