Prizmic vs Shevchenko Prediction 30 August 2026
🔊 Dino Prizmic and Alexander Shevchenko are both chasing ranking points at the US Open after first-round exits at the Slam last year. Neither player has particularly high expectations: this is only Prizmic's third appearance in the main draw, while Shevchenko has never gone beyond the second round here. Still, there is something to watch in this match - the two are separated by just four places in the rankings.
Head-to-Head
📊 Dino Prizmic and Alexander Shevchenko have no previous meetings on record.
Dino Prizmic Player Overview
Dino Prižmić arrives at the US Open having lost three matches in a row and winning just three of his last ten. His hard-court swing this summer has been a write-off - no wins at all - though he did take a set off the solid Cameron Norrie in the first round in Cincinnati, losing 6-3, 1-6, 4-6. His hold percentage is a reasonable 79%, but the rest of his numbers are modest: he has won only 50% of sets played and just over half the games across those ten matches. A double-fault rate of around 5% of all points played adds another layer of inconsistency.

Alexander Shevchenko Player Overview
Alexander Shevchenko is also going through a difficult stretch: four wins from ten matches, with two consecutive defeats. His first-round qualifying win over Pablo Llamas Ruiz in Cincinnati (6-3, 6-4) remains his only victory in August. He holds serve in around 82% of service games, but wins just 43% of games overall - below his upcoming opponent's numbers. Winning only a third of his sets points to difficulties maintaining momentum through matches. On hard courts during this run, he has reached a main draw just once - at Cincinnati, and only as a lucky loser.
Match Results: Alexander Shevchenko
Key factors
- In Dino Prižmič's last five matches at the US Open, the total has come in under 36.5 games.
- Alexander Shevchenko has won just 33% of sets in his last ten matches.
- Prižmič has won half the games in his recent matches.
- The Kazakh player takes a smaller share of total games overall, but holds serve at 83%.
Expected scenario
Both players arrive at the first round short of consistent form, which makes the wide gap in the odds all the more puzzling. There is a case for backing the underdog on his strengths - his serve should reliably win him points, particularly against an opponent of comparable level. Shevchenko also brings considerable clay-court experience to the match, and if Prizhmich's serve misfires, he could convert that into a break or two on return.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both players have been inconsistent of late: neither has shown reliable results, both rarely advance past the first round on the ATP Tour, and Shevchenko failed to qualify for a single main draw throughout the summer North American hard-court swing. That said, unlike the bookmakers, we wouldn't write the Kazakhstani off quite so heavily.
Looking at his last ten matches, Shevchenko managed to take a set in exactly half of his six defeats. His more effective serve should earn him a decent share of points on his own delivery, and he may well pick up a break or two on return given Prižmič's modest serving. We're backing the underdog - our pick is Shevchenko - Games Handicap +6.5.
