After the first two matches of this Davis Cup match between the USA and Czechia, the score was 1-1. After a doubles match, the tie concludes with the reverse singles. Ben Shelton takes on Jakub Mensik and the American recently beat Mensik for the loss of just four games and our prediction is he will win.
Both of these players lost their first match in this Davis Cup second qualifying round tie that's being played in Prague.
Ben Shelton was beaten in straight sets by Jiri Lehecka. He is ranked fourth in the world, 11 places above his opponent. His previous tournament saw him reach the final of the US Open, losing to Alexander Zverev. That included wins over Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe.
These two players are 2-2 in previous meetings. The most recent match was that easy win for Shelton in Montreal last month.
Jakub Mensik now trails Shelton 2-1 on outdoor hard courts.
He has lost his last two matches. One was to Learner TIen in the US Open and he failed to get revenge when losing to him in straight sets in this tie. That was his first indoor hard court match of the year compared to Shelton who has a 5-1 record after winning this year's Dallas tournament.
