Second seed Ben Shelton gets his Dallas Open campaign underway. Round one of this indoor hard court tournament sees him take on unseeded Gabriel Diallo. Read our match prediction below.
Waiting in round two for the winner are unseeded Adam Walton or recent Montpellier finalist Adrian Mannarino.
Ben Shelton was a semi-finalist in this indoor hard court event two years ago but only reached round two last year. The 23-year-old is playing his third tournament of the year. Shelton reached the quarter-final in both Adelaide and the Australian Open, winning five of his seven matches..
He’s ninth in the live rankings. These two players have shared their previous couple of meetings, both played on outdoor hard courts. Shelton won the most recent one in Washington last year, losing only five games.
Gabriel Diallo has a poor record in Dallas. One previous visit in 2023 saw him lose in the qualifying rounds. Reinstated as a lucky loser, he then lost in round one. The 24-year-old Canadian has lost his last three ATP Tour matches.
Last week saw him win and lose in the Davis Cup, losing to Gustavo Heide who was ranked outside the top 250.
Diallo is 38th in the live rankings. We tip Shelton to win in straight sets.
