Top seed Ben Shelton takes on the wildcard Jerome Kym in the second round in Basel. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will face either Daniel Altmaier or Jiri Lehecka in the quarter-finals. As both players have been impressive indoors, our prediction is for the match to go the distance.
Ben Shelton hasn’t been in full swing since his runner-up finish at the US Open. The world number four, who has won just twice in his last six outings, struggled to win his opening round tie.
Facing off with compatriot Aleksandar Kovacevic, Shelton won a close battle in three sets. He fought his way back after losing the opening set and won in two hours and 40 minutes.
A finalist in Basel in 2024, Shelton has won four titles this year and over 40 duels.
Jerome Kym will be looking to take full advantage of Shelton’s sluggishness and stay on in his home country’s event. The Swiss star is competing in the main draw on tour for only the second time this year.
To equal his performance in Gstaad, Kym continued a strong record against Arthur Rinderknech, winning their latest meeting in straight sets. The win, his 26th of the season, catapulted him a massive 36 slots up in the live ranking to 186th place.

Our Ben Shelton vs Jerome Kym Prediction
Our prediction for Ben Shelton v Jerome Kym is for this match to have more than 2.5 sets. Shelton is the favorite to win this match. But recent struggles suggest that Kym will make things tough for the American.
Shelton has seen his form drop since his runner-up finish at the US Open and hasn’t been able to show his A-game in subsequent fixtures. Kym, on the other hand, has been in fine form. He is also coming off a big victory and has been boosted by playing on home soil.
