Ben Shelton vs David Goffin prediction
Ben Shelton returns to action for the first time since retiring from his US Open third round match with a shoulder problem.
The American had been in the form of his life, rising to a career-high six in the world and winning his first Masters 1000 title in Cananda.
Now, the 22-year-old will look to end 2025 on a high, beginning with a second career meeting with David Goffin.
The Belgian hit back to outclass Alexandre Muller 6-7 6-1 6-1 in the first round and is having a mini resurgence with three wins in his last four.
The world number 83 also leads the head-to-head having beaten Shelton in straight sets in Acapulco earlier in the year.
It feels like Shelton has hit another level since then so it all comes down to how fit the youngster is.
If he serves well he’s likely to be too powerful for La Goff, but the veteran may relish the chance to show his best tennis in the spotlight.
