Ben Shelton of the United States will attempt to serve his way into the second round of the Wimbledon Open as he goes up against Alex Bolt of Australia in the first round on Tuesday.
Shelton is coming into the Wimbledon Open on a mini-slump after losing his last 3 matches on the grass. Shelton opened his grass-court campaign with two encouraging wins over Pierre-Hugues Herbert 7-6(4) 7-5 and Jiri Lehecka 6-4 6-4 at the Stuttgart Open. He lost in the semifinal of that tournament to Alexander Zverev 7-6(8) 7-6(1) and absorbed two more opening-match upsets against Arthur Rinderknech 7-6(5) 7-6(4) at HSBC Championships and Learner Tien 6-4 7-6(2) at Stuttgart.
Bolt had picked up 9 grass-court wins before the Wimbledon Open, including three in the tournament’s qualification round. The Aussie reached the quarterfinal of the Birmingham Challenger and the main draw of the HSBC Championship at the Queen’s Tennis Club.

Our Ben Shelton vs Alex Bolt Prediction
Why should you pick Alex Bolt to cover +4.5 Games (Win $100 on a $132 Bet) – Ben Shelton needs to be careful in this first-round match against Alex Bolt because if he’s not, a quick exit at Wimbledon is very much in play. Bolt currently ranks 179th in the world, but the dude has built his whole career on grass with 93 wins and a 71 percent win rate on the surface. Meanwhile, Shelton has lost his last 3 matches and looks deflated in his losses to Tien and Rinderknech. I don’t know what just happened to Shelton. On a surface where he’s supposed to dominate with his big serves, the American is falling apart like I have never seen before.
Our betting prediction for Alex Bolt vs. Ben Shelton: Alex Bolt +4.5 Games.
