THE PREDICTION
20-year-old Ben Shelton reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on his remarkable debut in January but the American has won just four of his 17 matches since. The left-hander has an excellent serve already at such a young age and all the potential to one day thrive in these conditions, with a straight-sets victory over J.J. Wolf at Queen’s two weeks ago his first ever on grass. World number 106 Taro Daniel comes through to the main draw at Wimbledon as a lucky loser after a five-set loss to Kimmer Coppejans in qualifying but that second wind will make the 30-year-old all the more dangerous. Daniel took a set from Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of Roland-Garros last month and he is well capable at causing an upset here in a first meeting with the 32nd seed. Sets should go both ways in a reasonable candidate for five but back Shelton to earn at least two of them as the likelier of the two to edge through.
