14th seed Ben Shelton faces a tricky second round match against bug hitting South African Lloyd Harris. Shelton has endured a difficult grass court season (2-5) and needed five sets to scrape past Mattia Bellucci in the first round. Harris was also taken all the way in his opening match, having to come from two sets down to beat Alex Michelsen 11-9 in a final set tie breaker. That was Harris's second ever victory at Wimbeldon, and it has been three years since he made it past the second round at any Grand Slam event. Shelton's best Grand Slam performance was at Flushing Meadow last year, when he defeated two top 16 seeds en route to the semi finals.

Our Lloyd Harris vs Ben Shelton Prediction

This is a very even looking matchup and one of the toughest second round games to call. So instead of picking a match winner, we are going to predict that the game goes all the way to a fifth set. Both players are big hitters, so expect plenty of aces and not many breaks of serve. We would not be surprised to see this break the 4 hour mark and have more than one tie breaker. Our prediction for Ben Shelton vs Lloyd Harris is: Over 4.5 sets, +188 at BetMGM.
