Khachanov vs Shelton Prediction 10 March 2025

Khachanov is capable of pleasantly surprising in the foreseeable future, as he is clearly tired of settling for questionable results. The last time Karen looked impressive was at a Masters event a few months ago (top-4 Paris). However, back then, he couldn't get past Hugo Humbert due to an injury. It was precisely because of the injury that the Russian lost his way. Yet, it didn't lead to a prolonged crisis. Yesterday, the athlete triumphed over Jakub Mensik in a fierce battle, delivering a "bagel" in the second set. The athlete avoided undue aggression to the maximum (29 unforced errors), which allowed him to avoid another debacle.

Shelton has also been significantly under the weather, which hinders his climb into the top-10 of the world rankings. Right after his vacation, Ben delighted with an excellent performance at the Australian Open (top-4). However, a tough loss to Jannik Sinner derailed him from his intended path for a long time. The representative from the USA failed in several consecutive competitions, which forced him to regroup. Already on these courts, the athlete gave away only five games to Mariano Navone, not allowing a single break point.
