Ben Shelton vs Thanasi Kokkinakis Prediction

Ben Shelton makes his Davis Cup debut and the 22-year-old will be keen to cap off an impressive 2024 in style as he represents his country.

Credit to Shelton for getting the nod to play this singles matches ahead of Tommy Paul and after going 42/25 on the ATP Tour this season, the big-serving Shelton will be eager to produce for his nation.

He gets things underway against Thanasi Kokkinakis who is a Davis Cup veteran. The 28-year-old made his debut in 2014 and has played 14 singles matches, winning seven and losing seven. It is somewhat surprising that Alexei Popyrin has not been selected here.

It has not been the best of years for Kokkinakis as he has had to contend with some injury troubles but he always turns out for his country and will be buoyed to do well here. He excelled in the group stage beating Arthur Fils and Jakub Mensik and that is likely why Leyton Hewitt has kept faith with him.

The pair have never met before but Shelton is the pick here however and he relishes this kind of environment. He has done well in the Laver Cup when he has played in that tournament and given his outstanding form this year, we expect him to get the win over Kokkinakis here.
