Ivashka Found Form in North America

Ivashka has endured a mixed season, in which he initially struggled to build on the accomplishments of 2021, which included winning his maiden title in Winston Salem.

However, his form picked up in North America, and, although he failed to defend his title, he did reach the semi-finals in Atlanta, and equalled his best performance in a Grand Slam by reaching the fourth round of the US Open, before losing a five set battle with Jannik Sinner.

In his one tournament since, he reached the quarter-finals in Sofia last week, eventually losing to the Dane, Holger Rune.

A strong end to the season would help set him up well for 2023.

Spanish Veteran Lopez Gets a Wildcard

Despite now being 41 years old, Lopez has so far failed to follow the examples of Roger Federer and Serena Williams in announcing his retirement, although these days he does not play on the main tour that often.

In fact, this will be his first match since he lost in the first round in Los Cabos at the start of Spain, and he has not won a match on the senior tour all year.

He is still capable of playing good tennis on his day, but his legs begin to tire the longer a match lasts.

Given a wildcard into this tournament, realistically he cannot go on much longer, so this may be one of the last chances a Spanish crowd will get to see him in action.

Ivashka v Lopez Prediction and Tip

Whilst there will be a great deal of emotion surrounding this match, with it being possibly one of the last times that Lopez will play a competitive match at this level, expecting him to win is almost certainly asking too much. He will probably put on a show, but Ivashka will be the player advancing to the second round.
