Ben Shelton vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction

Ben Shelton will be oozing confidence heading into the US Open.

The American went back-to-back in Canada prior to arriving in New York and will hope this year he can remain injury free to push deep in the draw.

The world number nine faces a tricky opener, however, with big-hitting Tallon Griekspoor capable of doing damage.

The Dutchman hasn’t enjoyed the most consistent of seasons but did defeat Alexander Zverev in Canada recently to offer a warning of what he can do on his day.

This is sure to be a big-serving contest, so you can expect a large number of games and there’s a strong possibility of a breaker or too as well.
