Our Ben Shelton vs Francisco Comesana Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Ben Shelton earns a straight-set win over Francisco Comesana 6-4, 6-4
Reasoning: Shelton showed his elite form in his 7-6, 6-3 win over Nick Kyrgios in an exhibition match at the Atlanta Cup. Shelton, one of the best servers on the ATP Tour, is going to present headaches for Comesana, who will have a hard time returning the American’s massive serves. Moreover, the Argentine was only 1-4 against the ATP top-10 players in 2025.
