Ben Shelton has no seeded players standing between him and a third successive Mubadala Citi DC Open semi-final. The third seed faces unseeded Ugo Humbert in round two and our prediction is Shelton will repeat the win he had over Humbert in this year's Australian Open.
In the last eight, the winner here will take on either Terence Atmane or Alejandro Tabilo, both unseeded.
Shelton will hope after two semi-final losses here, this year will be the one when he gets to the final. Round one of this ATP 500 outdoor hard court tournament saw Shelton beat Martin Damm in three sets. He has a 7-4 record on this surface in 2026.
Shelton's win over Humbert in this year's Australian Open came in straight sets (best-of-five) with two tie-breaks.
Ugo Humbert was 29th in the latest rankings, 21 places below Shelton.
Six months ago, Humbert reached the final of the outdoor hard court tournament played in Adelaide. He has had further success on other surfaces but his best run on this surface since January was a fourth round in Miami.
He had lost his last two outdoor hard court matches before defeating Andres Martin in straight sets in round one.
That took his outdoor hard court record for this year to 8-7.

Our Ugo Humbert vs Ben Shelton Prediction
Ben Shelton has a great record in this tournament but he'd so love to finally make it past the semi-finals. He has no seeds between him and another semi-final in Washington. Earlier this year he beat Humbert in straight sets in the Australian Open Grand Slam tournament.
There were two tie-breaks played in that match and a side bet on one here could be profitable. Humbert has reached one ATP Tour outdoor hard court final this year but that was six months ago. Our Ugo Humbert v Ben Shelton prediction is Ben Shelton wins.
