In October-November 2024, the Kazakh played four tournaments, in Shanghai, Almaty, Paris and Metz, in which he achieved four victories with the same number of defeats.

In general, the Kazakh national team made it to the semifinals of that draw.

Carlos Alcaraz

The Spaniard is the second favorite for the tournament after Italy's Jannik Sinner, but the Spaniard has not yet played at the official level in 2025. Alcaraz played three matches at the Turin Open at the end of last season but failed to make the playoffs, losing to Ruud and Zverev. The Pyrenean also played one match at the Davis Cup, where he was stronger than Dutchman Griekspoor, defeating him in two sets.

Expert Betting Tips

We are on the side of the favorite in the pair, we believe that the Spaniard will start the Majors with a very confident victory. Shevchenko, although he has game practice in 2025, is noticeably inferior to the Spaniard in class. In addition, Carlos has experience of beating Shevchenko, and Carlos achieved a very confident victory over his opponent last season. We expect a confident victory from the third racket of the world and the second favorite of the Majors.
