🔍 Match Breakdown

Cobolli enters with the momentum of a title and a growing clay résumé, while Shevchenko’s 2025 campaign has been marred by inconsistency and confidence dips. The Italian thrives in long rallies and is particularly dangerous on clay, where his controlled aggression and variety shine.

Shevchenko will need to hit big early and often to trouble Cobolli. If he finds rhythm and keeps errors down, he can challenge. But as a lucky loser without recent success on clay, the odds are stacked against him unless Cobolli falters significantly.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Cobolli to win in three sets

Shevchenko may flash brilliance at times, but Cobolli’s recent surge, familiarity with Munich, and clay-court pedigree make him the rightful favorite.
