Shapo better play at a reasonably high level because Gerasimov has been redlining and playing the best tennis of his life for a solid month.

I watched Egor Gerasimov at the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open about six weeks ago and while he has a big serve, the rest of his game wasn't all that great. Obviously, he's found lightning in a bottle as last week he made it all the way to the semi-final of the ATP St. Petersburg tourney where he lost 7-5 7-5 to Daniil Medvedev. Big opportunity here for Shapo.
