Ben Shelton vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction & Picks - ATP Houston

Prediction published on 4/4/24, 10:39 AM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 4/4/24 at 11:39 AM in Tennis Picks

On Friday, there's an all American clash at the ATP event in Houston. Teenage sensation Ben Shelton takes on Brandon Nakashima. The younger of the two up-and-comers is a clear favourite for this clash, but he's very early on in his clay-court career, and Nakashima is not the easiest player to face, so we shouldn't automatically assume that Shelton gets the job done with ease.

Our Ben Shelton vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction

As a player now ranked 16th in the world, Ben Shelton is quite strongly favoured in the early betting and he may well prove to be too strong for Nakashima, but this is unlikely to be easy for the teenager, who made it through his last match, but not without dropping a set. We've seen Shelton struggle to be as dominant on a clay surface, while his opponent here is in good form and can certainly make this a real test. Both players have it within them to do some damage here, so don't be surprised if this match goes the distance. Our Prediction: Over 2.5 Sets.
