Our Ben Shelton vs Jannik Sinner Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Jannik Sinner overpowers Ben Shelton 6-4, 6-3, 7-6
Reason: Shelton is truly playing terrific tennis in this tournament, but the hard truth is he’s still not as good as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The gap that separates the top-2 players in the world from the rest of the field is simply too wide for it not to be frustrating for players like Shelton to keep playing hard only to bow to a superior talent in the deep stage of a big tournament.
As the stats from their previous 9 matches reveal, Sinner has dominated Shelton throughout their one-sided series, dropping only two sets out of 22. The American could only break Sinner six times, while the Italian has converted 45 percent of his break-point chances in their matchup.
