Both certainly have some adjustments to make before the open, but my money is certainly on Shapo to go deeper than Felix at this point.

I agree with this for the simple reason that Felix is just a mess as far as his serve is concerned. It's actually pretty amazing that he was as close to winning his match yesterday against Sandgren as he was considering how badly he was serving. In contrast, Shapo seems to have figured out his serve (needs to clean it up a little, but I blame the layoff more than anything else for that).
