Alexander Zverev of Germany will tussle with Ben Shelton of the United States in a rematch of this year’s Hamburg Open final in Saturday’s semifinal round at the 2025 Boss Stuttgart Open.
Zverev outlasted Brandon Nakashima of the United States 7-5 6-4 in an entertaining quarterfinal clash on Friday. Nakashima kept in step with the world’s No.3 in the early phase of both the first and second sets, but Zverev always found ways to score the big points at the most crucial points of this match. Zverev posted 8 aces and won 36 points off his first serves, on top of two breakpoints.
Shelton booked his first grass-court semifinal after besting Jiri Lehecka in a competitive two-set slugfest 6-4 6-4. Shelton’s overpowering service game was on full display on Friday as the American fired 18 aces and won 28 points off his first serves to power past Lehecka. Shelton also improved his grass-court record to 8-7.

Our Alexander Zverev vs Ben Shelton Prediction
Why should you bet on Ben Shelton to win? (Win $135 on a $100 Bet) – I have a strong feeling Shelton will offer a stronger challenge to Zverev in this upcoming grass-court encounter than he did several weeks ago when he was absolutely obliterated by Zverev on clay in the final of the 2025 Hamburg Open. On grass, Shelton can finally weaponize his big serves that have already produced 26 aces and allowed him to hold 100 percent of his serves. Zverev has conceded only two service breaks in the tournament but dealt the most damage as a returner, where he has scored 53 return points and 6 breakpoints. With Shelton’s big serves overwhelming opponents, it will be a big test for Zverev to neutralize the American’s power game and seize key breakpoints in this fascinating match.
Our betting prediction for Alexander Zverev vs. Ben Shelton: Ben Shelton will win
