Hot off a title at Stuttgart, Ben Shelton eyes a straightforward win over Lorenzo Sonego in the first round at the 2026 Halle Open.
Ben Shelton will begin a fresh campaign at Halle on Wednesday, coming on the heels of a title-clinching run at ATP 250 Stuttgart. Shelton survived four consecutive three-set matches, including a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 win over Taylor Fritz in the final, to secure the first grass-court title of his career.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo Sonego qualified for the main draw of the Terra Wortmann Cup after receiving a lucky loser nod, replacing Nick Kyrgios of Australia. Despite carrying a solid 29-25 record on grass, Sonego faces the possibility of a quick exit at Halle as he is about to face a red-hot top-10 caliber player in Shelton.

Our Ben Shelton vs Lorenzo Sonego Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Ben Shelton sails through to a straight-set win over Lorenzo Sonego, 6-4, 6-4
Shelton enters the tournament at Halle oozing with confidence following his triumph at Stuttgart. The American has an opportunity to reassert his mastery over Sonego, whom he defeated in 4 of 5 previous matches on the ATP Tour.
Although Sonego owns two wins over top-5 players, he doesn’t have the momentum and the form that would make him a serious threat to Shelton in this first-round clash.
In their first and only grass-court duel at the 2025 Wimbledon Open, Shelton conceded the first set before sweeping the next three sets to score a four-set victory. With the level of tennis he played last week, Shelton isn’t going to need an extra set to finish off Sonego.
