Denis and Felix will face each other in the first round. The winner will face Nadal.

Feliix Auger Aliassime Shapovalov

Unlucky stuff for the Canadian contingent in Madrid as Denis Shapovalov and Felix-Auger Aliassime will clash in the 1st round and, to add insult to injury, the winner will face Rafael Nadal in the 2nd round.

This will be the second time that Denis and Felix will face each other in the 1st round of a major competition after the 2018 US Open when Auger-Aliassime had to withdraw when he was 7-5 5-7 4-1 down for a heart-related problem.

Denis Shapovalov

Ranked no.20, Denis is not having a fantastic year with the notable exception of the semifinal in Miami where he lost to Roger Federer 6-2 6-4. Denis has an overall 11-9 win-loss record (0-2 on clay) and he lost the last 3 matches.  Shapovalov crashed out in the opening match in both Monte Carlo and Barcelona.

Felix Auger-Aliassime

Ranked no.30, Felix is having a fantastic season. The 18-year-old reached the final in Rio de Janeiro and the semifinal in Miami and he is ranked no.13 in the race to London. Auger-Aliasisme has a 20-10 win-loss record in 2019 (8-5 on clay).

Head to head Felix Auger-Aliassime vs. Denis Shapovalov

Even if Denis and Felix faced each other many times in various competitions and in training, on the main tour they clashed only once and that was that unfortunate match at the US Open. Therefore the head to head remains 1-0 for Denis.
