Alexander Shevchenko will face Australian player Christopher O’Connell at the 2024 ATP Adelaide tennis event this week. This will be a second-round match in the tournament, which is also known as the 2024 Adelaide International tennis tournament. At stake is a spot in the quarterfinals and a chance in the late rounds of this small event, one that awards 250 ranking points to the eventual champion. My Shevchenko vs O’Connell prediction is that the former player will win this match. Furthermore, I look at a same-game parlay for those who want to lengthen the odds for this ATP Adelaide affair.

Alexander Shevchenko vs Christopher O’Connell Head-to-Head Series
The Shevchenko vs O’Connell h2h is 0-0 according to bet365’s match stats. Their upcoming match will be their first head-to-head meeting in their career. They are in a section of the draw where Sebastian Korda looms as the No. 3 seed in the tournament.
Shevchenko enters the second round having disposed of the sixth seed in the previous round. That match was a long one but bettors need not fear Shevchenko being unfit for his upcoming match. He had some impressive endurance during the latter stages of the 2023 season.
Shevchenko is currently ranked 48th in the world. He is at a career-high ranking right now and he could be identified as a player who is mid-ascension. I think he will continue to climb in the months ahead before hitting his plateau. Shevchenko does have a chance to get into the Top 40 with a great result in the days ahead in Adelaide.
O”Connell is in the draw as a Wild Card. He won his first-round match in straight sets but O’Connell rarely won two matches in any tour-level main draw last season. Even in Chengdu, where he did win two matches in the main draw, he had the World No. 319 and the World No. 95 in his path.

Shevchenko vs O’Connell Prediction: Shevchenko wins
O’Connell is nowhere near Shevchenko right now. At -163 on the moneyline, the latter player looks like a bargain to win this upcoming match (bet365). I think bettors could dabble on a straight-sets win for Shevchenko at +162.
For those interested in a same-game parlay, here’s what you could do: Christopher O’Connell not to win a set, UNDER 10.5 games in Set 1, and UNDER 10.5 games in Set 2. That works out to +333 with Shevchenko winning 6-4, 6-4, or more efficiently in this match to be expected.
