Arthur Rinderknech vs Ben Shelton prediction

Arthur Rinderknech enters the main draw of this event as a lucky loser. He was defeated by compatriot Corentin Moutet in the final round of qualifying. He got his grass court season off to a brilliant start with a surprise first-round victory over former Wimbledon semi-finalist Denis Shapovalov in Stuttgart. However, he couldn’t continue the momentum against Marton Fucsovics in the next round, losing in straight sets.

Ben Shelton also competed in Stuttgart and performed well in his first two matches. Astonishingly, he won all 28 of his first serve points during his match against Jiri Lehecka in the round-of-16, winning in straight sets. Despite his serve remaining solid in the semi-finals against Alexander Zverev, he lost 7-6 7-6 as a place in the final alluded him.

Shelton’s serve will always be a big weapon on grass, and he is likely to make another deep run this week. The American is good value to win comfortably in his first-round match.
