Strangely, the Japanese player is considered the favorite here. I wouldn't say he is a better tennis player, and in the previous season they met on hard court and Shevchenko easily defeated him in 2 sets. The Japanese player had to go through qualifying rounds, while Shevchenko had time to rest. This season, based on numbers, Shima might seem better, but Shevchenko has only slightly better results against weaker opponents.
