Denis Shapovalov and Marcel Granollers will face each other in the 2nd round in Montpelier. The match will be played on Thursday at 2 pm (not before).
Shapovalov
Ranked no.25, the 19-year-old from Canada is seeded no.3 in France where he is eager to win his maiden ATP title and later on break in the top20. Even if Denis worked hard during the offseason, he didn’t achieve much in January after he lost in the opener in Auckland and he lost in the 3rd round at the Australian Open (but in this case to the great Novak Djokovic).

Granollers
Currently ranked no.111, the Spaniard is trying to get back in the top 100. Marcel has recently won the Challenger 35 in Da Nang to get back some confidence in playing singles. The former world no.19 defeated Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (3) 6-7 (5) 7-6 (5) in the first round.
