Ben Shelton vs Adrian Mannarino Prediction & Picks - ATP US Open

Prediction published on 8/29/25, 9:35 AM  by Lou Aguila in ATP US Open Picks

Ben Shelton of the United States is going up against a dangerous opponent in the third round of the 2025 US Open on Friday in Flushing Meadows, New York.

Shelton is currently listed at -575 moneyline, though it’s worth noting that he’s 1-2 head-to-head against his next opponent.

After sweeping through the first two rounds, Shelton will turn his attention to his next assignment, a match against Adrian Mannarino of France in the round of 32 at the 2025 US Open. Shelton, who blasted Ignacio Buse 6-3 6-2 6-4 and Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4 6-2 6-4 in straight set, must brace for a rough duel with Mannarino, who had given the American headaches in their first two go-around until securing a breakthrough win at the Canadian Open, 6-2 6-3, more than three weeks ago.

Mannarino advanced to the third round with a gutsy four-set win over Jordan Thompson of Australia 6-4 6-7(5) 6-3 6-3. Mannarino, who will be making his sixth round of 32 appearance at the US Open, has won nine of his last 11 hard-court matches and also reached the fourth round of the 2025 Cincinnati Open, where he made a good account of himself against the world’s No.1 Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7.
