Ben Shelton of the United States will slug it out with the upset-minded Matteo Gigante in the third round of the 2025 French Open.
Shelton got a free pass to the third round after his second-round opponent Hugo Gaston retired due to injury. The walkover win was a welcome development for Shelton, who had to gut out a five-set victory over Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-2 6-3 in the first round. Shelton reached the semifinal of the year’s first Grand Slam at the Australian Open and hopes to follow that up with another prolific campaign at the French Open.
Gigante was relatively unknown before he stunned Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in the second round, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. It marked the fifth straight win for the 167th-ranked Gigante in this tournament, including the three wins in the qualifying phase.

Our Ben Shelton vs Matteo Gigante Prediction
Why you should bet on Matteo Gigante to cover +1.5 sets: I like what I saw from Gigante in his upset win over Tsitsipas. The Italian controlled the action of that match by winning 60 points off his first serves and breaking the Greek 5 times. He’s a crafty player who has recorded wins over Tsitsipas, Elmer Moller, and Benjamin Hassan. And while I still think Shelton has the edge because of his experience at the Grand Slam stage and the 48 hours rest he had after the walkover win over Hugo Gaston, Gigante will show to everybody that his victory over Tsitsipas is not a fluke by giving the hard-hitting American another challenging match.
