Ben Shelton vs Adrian Mannarino prediction

Ben Shelton continued his serene progress at Flushing Meadows so far as he beat former US Open semi-finalist Pablo Carreno Busta in straight sets. Shelton was tested at times, being broken on two occasions, but he kept creating opportunities as he converted six of his seven break points to win 6-4 6-2 6-4. He has not dropped a set in his two matches so far.

Adrian Mannarino will be his opponent as he continued his strong form with a four set win over Jordan Thompson. The Frenchman saved eight of his nine break points and recovered from losing the second set on a tiebreak to win 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-3. He has seven wins out of his last eight matches, having made a run from qualifying to the fourth-round of the Cincinnati Open a fortnight ago.

Mannarino also leads the head-to-head 2-1, though Shelton did notch his first win in the rivalry earlier this month on his way to winning the Canadian Open. His precise and varied style might frustrate Shelton, and he could take a set off the American, but Shelton’s powerful game should be too much over a best of five sets match.

Ben Shelton vs Adrian Mannarino tip: Ben Shelton to win 3-0 or 3-1
