Mannarino vs Shevchenko Prediction 10 November 2026
๐ Adrian Mannarino, who took the place of the withdrawn Luca Van Assche in the Stockholm main draw, will face Alexander Shevchenko in the first round and have a chance to make amends for his qualifying disappointment. Unlike the Frenchman, the Kazakh came through qualifying, but the bookmakers still make him the underdog. That should come as no surprise: Mannarino has reached the quarter-finals of the Swedish tournament twice. Weโll see whether the 38-year-old veteranโs invaluable experience works in his favour.
Head-to-Head
๐ Adrian Mannarino has the edge in their head-to-head record, having won the only match against Alexander Shevchenko that was played to completion. However, this will be their first meeting on an indoor hard court.
Head-to-head statistics Mannarino - Shevchenko
Adrian Mannarino Player Overview
Adrian Mannarino enters the tournamentโs main draw with six wins in his last ten matches, confirming his consistency at this stage of the season. His indoor campaign began with two quarter-final appearances, at the ATP 250 in Almaty and the ATP 500 in Vienna. He then failed to qualify for the Masters 1000 in Paris and the current tournament. Nevertheless, Mannarino won 58% of sets over this period, so he is capable of controlling matches, even though he prefers to play on the counter. The Frenchman holds serve in 74% of his service games, but he also has a distinctive return that allows him to turn opponentsโ shot pace against them.
Match Results: Adrian Mannarino
Alexander Shevchenko Player Overview
Alexander Shevchenko has five wins in his last ten matches, but his results have been less consistent, and he has not won a main-draw match on the main menโs tour since the clay-court stretch of the season in July. In qualifying for the current tournament, he beat Viktor Durasovic and Jacob Fearnley, but before that he lost to Luka Pavlovic in the opening round of the Bratislava Challenger. Shevchenko holds serve 82% of the time, while his matches average 21.3 games. Despite his respectable hold percentage, Alexander more often struggles against opponents ranked around the top 50 and cannot always maintain a high tempo throughout a match.
Match Results: Alexander Shevchenko
Key factors
- Adrian Mannarino has won 6 of his last 10 matches.
- Mannarino claimed a convincing victory in the only previous meeting.
- Mannarinoโs percentage of sets won over his last 10 matches is 58%.
- Alexander Shevchenko has not won a main-draw match on the main menโs tour since July.
Expected scenario
Mannarino looks the favourite thanks to his more consistent form at this stage of the season and his win in their only previous meeting. With his deft return, he is unlikely to have much trouble even against Alexander Shevchenkoโs stronger serve. After all, the Kazakh is more accustomed to clay and therefore better suited to long rallies, which the Frenchman is capable of seeing out with his pragmatic defensive style.
โญ Editorโs Prediction
Adrian Mannarinoโs more consistent indoor form this autumn gives him an edge over his opponent, despite his unsuccessful qualifying campaign in Stockholm. It is also worth remembering that Alexander Shevchenko has not had a successful run in an ATP Tour main draw since mid-summer. The Frenchman has also beaten the Kazakh in a previous meeting on fast grass courts. The pick is Adrian Mannarino to win.
