Ben Shelton is making his debut in the ATP Finals. In this indoor hard court tournament being played in Turin, Italy he takes on two-time champion Alexander Zverev in his opening match. Here's our match prediction.
This is in the Bjorn Borg group and to play after this match are Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Alexander Zverev won this title in 2018 and 2021. Last year in Turin he was a losing semi-finalist. The world number three has only won one tournament this year and that was on clay in Munich.
He's lost two hard court finals, one being the Australian Open and the other, the recent Erste Open. He has won all four of his previous matches against Shelton, the last three in straight sets. The only one played on a hard court was in Cincinnati in August with Shelton winning just four games.
Ben Shelton is fifth in the live rankings and ATP Race. The American has also won one title this year, being victorious in the Canadian Open and that was a hard court tournament. His most recent tournament saw him lose in the last eight in Paris. Only three of his last seven matches have been won.
We tip Zverev to win this match.
