Ben Shelton vs Reilly Opelka prediction
Ben Shelton’s strong start to 2026 continues with a title charge in Dallas last time out.
The eighth seed now kicks off his Indian Wells hopes with a third clash against his compatriot Reilly Opelka.
The world number 68 saw off another American, Ethan Quinn 7-5 7-6 but knows it will be a tall order against Shelton.
The youngster leads their head-to-head 2-0 from a pair of tussles in 2024 and is an even tougher proposition now.
There’s scope for a tie break again here but we also expect Ben to be too strong and get the job done in two.
Ben Shelton vs Reilly Opelka tip: Ben Shelton to win 2-0
