Ben Shelton is set to play at the ATP Washington semis for the second straight season after overcoming compatriot Frances Tiafoe. The fourth seed will take on the number 12 seed, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, in the last four. This will mark the third meeting between the two, and we have a prediction for the match below.
Both players are angling for a first-ever appearance at this event’s final. Davidovich Fokina endured a grueling three-hour battle to beat top seed Taylor Fritz in three sets.
He has a second American his way, a fixture he leads 2-0 in. On to his fifth semi this season, the Spaniard has compiled a 31-17 record and is 23rd in the live ranking.
Shelton is the only American remaining at the competition after three more fell off in the last eight. He was actually responsible for dumping one out – Frances Tiafoe.
Shelton is yet to drop a set this week and is in perfect shape to claim a first win against Davidovich Fokina. The world No. 8 is going into his fourth semi-final of the season, hoping to advance to a second final.
Hard courts remain his favored surface, and he bears a 13-6 record coming here. The 22-year-old has an overall 26-15 run, while he is a record seventh in the live rank.

Our Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Ben Shelton Prediction
Davidovich Fokina facing Ben Shelton in their current runs promises to be a showstopper. Both players are doing well and gunning for their first-ever appearances in the final at this event. Shelton, though, will be a slight favorite here, playing on home soil and having had a bit more rest.
Davidovich Fokina comes into this game straight off a three-hour match and with less time to recover. Having spent an hour more than Shelton overall on the court might work against him. However, we still expect him to push the American. Our prediction for Ben Shelton v Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is for Shelton to win in three sets.
