Alexander Blockx vs Ben Shelton prediction

Ben Shelton overcame a mid-match blip to edge Emilio Nava in Munich. 

The second seed claimed a 7-6 3-6 6-3 victory over the lucky loser to secure the expected USA bragging rights.

Shelton will now tackle world number 72 Alexander Blockx after the Belgian wildcard upset home hope Yannick Hanfmann by a 7-6 6-2 scoreline. 

This will be a maiden encounter and it’ll be on 2025 runner-up, Shelton’s racket, with the world number six no doubt keen to avoid any dips this time around.
