Ivashka Looking to Build on 2021

2021 was a breakthrough year for Ivashka on tour.

He not only beat a top ten player for the first time – Alexander Zverev – in Munich, where he went on to reach the semi-finals, but then he reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time at Wimbledon.

Even better was to come at the Winston Salem Open in August where he won his maiden ATP final, thrashing the Swede Mikael Ymer.

By the end of the year, he had broken into the top 50 for the first time and become the undisputed Belarus number one,

He is now looking to build on those achievements in 2022, but, having missed the Australian season altogether, he is behind many of his fellow competitors in terms of preparation. This will be his first competitive match of the year.

Six months later he reached his first ATP final, losing to Jannik Sinner in three sets at the Washington Open.

2022, tho9ugh, has started less well for the American.

He made the second round of the Melbourne Summer Set, before losing to the Dutch number 57 Borna van de Zandschulp, in straight sets.

He was then beaten in the opening round of Adelaide by the French player, Arthur Rinderkech of France in three sets.

At the Australian Open itself,  he came from behind to beat the Serb qualifier Nikola Milojevic in four sets in the first round, but then his run was ended by the Russian, Aslan Karatsev, in another four set match.

The form guide suggests this could be a close match, although Ivashka may be a little rusty not having played so far this year. That may just give McDonald the edge.
