THE PREDICTION
World number 16 Ben Shelton came back from a set down to oust up-and-coming youngster Jakub Mensik on Friday in an encouraging result in front of raucous home support. The 21-year-old reached the semi-finals of the US Open last summer before a four-set exit to eventual champion Novak Djokovic but a third round exit to Adrian Mannarino, in five sets, at the Australian Open in January is proof that the powerful left-hander has a lot of maturing left to do on tour. World number 22 Francisco Cerundolo looks like turning a corner after a surprisingly poor start to 2024 but it is difficult to know how much of his win over Alexander Shevchenko was down to his level as his opponent retired early in their second set. A run to the semi-finals of the Rio Open two weeks ago was encouraging but ended quite abruptly by fellow Argentine Sebastian Baez to suggest this is Shelton’s match to lose but Cerundolo is certainly capable of forcing a decider. Back Shelton to win outright.
TIP: BEN SHELTON TO WIN
