Ben Shelton has continued on his steady rise, and he is now, for the first time ever, a top 10 player. He will hope to mark this milestone with a win over Arthur Rinderknech in the first round at ATP London. Read on for our prediction of the match.

This will be their first ever meeting, and the winner progresses to face Reilly Opelka or Camilo Ugo Carabelli. Shelton is coming from a deep run in Stuttgart, where he was beaten in the semi-final by Alexander Zverev.

With six wins in his last 10 matches, though, the American will be confident of bouncing back. He also has six wins in 10 matches on grass.

Rinderknech has had a poor season thus far, and London has never been an easy tour event for him either. He is making his fourth appearance at London and hopes to advance past the first round for once.

He is actually in this round as a lucky loser, having fallen to Corentin Moutet in the qualifying final. Earlier last week, the Frenchman was eliminated from the Stuttgart Open in the second round.

He will be looking to avoid another early exit, but his season’s record doesn’t really favor progression. Rinderknech has compiled a 9-20 record, having finished with losing runs on both hard and clay courts.
