THE PREDICTION
This should be a really fascinating clash between two big-servers who have enjoyed Madrid’s zippier high-altitude so far. World number 15 Ben Shelton made it five wins on the spin with a consummate victory over Tomas Machac on Saturday, backing-up his excellent run to the Houston Open title earlier this month, whilst world number 18 Alexander Bublik came back from a set down to beat in-form home hopeful Roberto Carballes Baena. Neither player is at their best on clay but Bublik enjoyed a decent spell this time last season, including beating Shelton in three sets en-route to this stage of the Italian Open, and the young American brings some surprising form on the surface from Houston to suggest he is still improving all the time on tour. Back Shelton to earn at least a set given his five-match winning streak or consider at least a tiebreak between two of the better serves on tour.
TIP: BEN SHELTON TO WIN A SET
