Our Flavio Cobolli vs Ben Shelton Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Flavio Cobolli outlasts Ben Shelton 6-4, 4-6, 7-6
Sharp Play: Flavio Cobolli will win. I am taking the Italian’s side in this match. Shelton has been spectacular on clay this week, but Cobolli has elevated his form to another level, especially in his upset over Alexander Zverev. Cobolli has won 76.7 percent of his first balls and faced only 8 breakpoints (saving 75 percent) in this tournament. Shelton has also dropped only two service games in Munich and averaged 7.8 aces per match.
Ultimately, it will all boil down to which player can convert his breakpoint chances. Shelton has only converted 4 of 17 break chances in this event, while Cobolli has secured 10 conversions out of 23 chances or a solid 43.5 percent conversion rate.
