Ben Shelton vs Marcos Giron prediction

Ben Shelton kicks off his grasscourt campaign against a fellow American.

The top seed will take on Marcos Giron for a fourth time after the world number 88 edged Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6 7-5.

Shelton leads the head-to-head 2-1 and triumphed 6-3 4-6 7-6 on clay in Hamburg recently. 

However, this will be a maiden tussle on grass and although Shelton reached the last four here 12 months ago and went on to make the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, you can’t underestimate Giron’s level on the surface.

The 32-year-old won the Newport title in 2024 and has enough in his game to cause a few problems on the turf.

The betting will heavily favour Shelton and he should progress, but consider a tie-break, over 20.5 games and Giron taking a set if you want longer but riskier odds.

Ben Shelton vs Marcos Giron tip: Over 20.5 games
