Alejandro Tabilo vs Ben Shelton prediction
Alejandro Tabilo produced an efficient performance to get past Terence Atmane in straight sets and advance to the quarter-finals at the Washington Open. Atmane had come from a set down to beat Frances Tiafoe in his opening match, but he was unable to break Tabilo’s serve as the Chilean won 6-3 7-6 (6). This is now his best result on a hard court on the ATP Tour this season.
He goes up against second seed Ben Shelton next. The American was pushed to a deciding set once again, but he fought back to beat Ugo Humbert. Shelton crucially broke in the ninth game of the third set and served it out to win 6-7 (3) 6-3 6-4. The world number eight is one match away from a third successive appearance in the last four of this event.
Shelton has been pushed in his opening two matches, but he has the ability to dominate this particular matchup with his strong serve. The quick conditions play directly into his strengths, and Tabilo will have to be close to his best to have the upper hand.
Alejandro Tabilo vs Ben Shelton tip: Ben Shelton to win 2-0
