Joao Fonseca is having a strong week in Munich and will next attempt to extend his run against second seed Ben Shelton. This is a quarter-final tie and is the first time these two are facing off. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Joao Fonseca is having a strong week and is yet to drop a set with two matches played. The teenage star, who is making his Munich debut, defeated Alejandro Tabilo in the first round and then Arthur Rinderknech to advance to the last eight.
The Brazilian, who is up to 30th in the live ranking, is contesting his second successive quarter-final. Fonseca arrived in Munich after a strong run in the Monte Carlo Masters.
Ben Shelton has had a bumpy ride in his return to Munich. The American, who lost in the final last season, had played a tiebreaker in each of his two matches. He also needed a decider to win in the first round.
Shelton defeated the wildcard Alexander Blockx to set up this tie with Fonseca. Despite the win, he has dropped two places to eighth in the live ranking.
