The stage is set for Ben Shelton’s first career meeting with Emilio Nava at ATP Munich. The two will be facing off in the first round, Nava getting this chance as a lucky loser meeting the second seed. Read on to find our prediction of this match.
On his debut, Nava will have a second chance, moving into the main draw after losing in the qualifying rounds. A quarterfinalist in Santiago, Nava is coming off a 2-0 loss to Alex Molcan.
He will hope to stave off a trend of losing in the early stages. In six of his last eight tournaments, he failed to make it past the first round. The American, 115th in the live rankings, has compiled a 12-12 record so far and has never beaten a top 10 player.
Shelton will come into this game looking to improve on his recent unimpressive showing on clay. He suffered a quarter-final exit in Houston, falling to Thiago Agustin Tirante in three sets.
That was the eighth time in 10 matches that the American lost at least one set, but he is on eight wins in his last 10 outings. Shelton hasn’t lost a match in the first round this season and has gone on to win the title in Dallas.
He has so far compiled a 12-5 record and will be looking to better his finish at Munich last year when he lost in the final on his debut.
