Ben Shelton vs Lorenzo Sonego Tips

At 10, Shelton is ranked 37 places above Sonego. He leads the head-to-head results 3-1. They have an identical record on grass this year, but Shelton has the better win/loss record for the year. Shelton should win.

Sonego is given a look at this price as statistically I don't think he's that far away from Shelton, so maybe he causes the upset here.

Shelton has dropped a set in each of his 3 wins against the Italian and lost one of the 4 games. I feel Shelton wins but drops a set. His serve is too strong and will get him through this round.

Lorenzo Sonego won all three matches by different results (3:0 - 1st round, 3:1 - 2nd round, 3:2 - third round). He had to play tie-breaks in 6 of the last 9 played sets. Shelton played only one tie-break in the last two played matches. Sonego lost the last two head-to-head matches against Shelton but was defeated only in the final set. Two years ago, Sonego won 3-1 at the French Open.

Shelton is the higher-ranked player and leads the head-to-head scores 3-1. He has been in better form this year and should win the first set.

Ben is in his top form, and I believe this game will be a win for him. Lorenzo has recently been beaten by some low player, which shows he is out of form but still staying up in the tournament. Therefore, I expect this match to end in Shelton's favor.

This will be the 4th meeting between the players at a Grand Slam and all 3 meetings between the players have been very close. I also expect a close game today.
