Home hope Alexander Shevchenko will square off against Laslo Djere in the first round of the Almaty Open 2025.

Shevchenko's Asian swing started on a promising note. He scored wins over Gael Monfils, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Taro Daniel before falling to top seed Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals of the Chengdu Open. However, he failed to make an impact at the Shanghai Masters, going down to qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka in the first round.

Djere went on an injury hiatus following his first-round exit from the Swiss Open in July. He returned to action earlier this month at the Shanghai Masters and lost to eventual champion Valentin Vacherot in the first round. He then dropped down to the Challenger level to participate in the Jinan Open and fell at the opening hurdle once again.

After registering the best result of his season at the Chengdu Open, it was back to square one for Shevchenko with a first-round exit from the Shanghai Masters. He has a 12-18 record this season, with a 6-9 record on hardcourts. He reached the quarterfinals of the Almaty Open a year ago.

Djere had lost his last three matches prior to his injury break. His losing streak has continued upon his return to the tour, losing both of his matches since his return in straight sets. All of his best results this year, including a title at the Chile Open, have come on clay. His match in Shanghai was his first on hardcourts at the ATP level this year.

Considering Djere is still nowhere close to his best following his injury hiatus, Shevchenko will be the favorite to win this contest despite his own inconsistent form. The former also hasn't gotten comfortable on hardcourts this year, further tipping the scales in the latter's favor.

Pick: Alexander Shevchenko to win in straight sets.
