Ben Shelton is appearing in Munich this week as the second seed and will next face off with the wildcard Alexander Blockx. They will battle it out in the second round to mark their first career meeting. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Blockx saw off the challenge of Yannick Hanfmann in the first round. Making his Munich debut, the Belgian won in straight sets against a clay court specialist playing on home soil.
Blockx is having a strong season despite largely competing outside the tour. He has won 21 matches, leading to one Challenger title.
His highlight of the season, though, is a third-round finish in Monte Carlo as a qualifier. Advancing to this round has nudged the 21-year-old up five places to 66th in the live rankings.
Shelton lost in the final in his Munich debut last season. It was his second loss in six tour finals contested, and he will be eager to make amends.
The American is having a superb season. He has won 13 of 18 matches and claimed one title in Dallas. His performances have allowed the world number six to remain among the ATP’s top 10.
Shelton has been showing a bit of nerves lately and has lost three of his last six matches. The 23-year-old had a bumpy ride in the first round as he needed a decider to get past lucky loser Emilio Nava.
