For Ben, the tournament has been a relatively smooth ride. His opponents so far haven't been particularly strong (none from the Top 25), which explains why he hasn't dropped a set. Hugo Carabelli couldn't finish their match due to injury, and even if Spanish tennis veteran Bautista Agut were in peak form, he likely wouldn't have posed much of a challenge to Shelton.
In his latest match at the tournament, the American confidently defeated Czech player Jiri Lehecka in just 1 hour and 21 minutes with a score of 6-4, 6-4. His first serve was quite effective at 63%, winning 81% of points on it. Additionally, Ben delivered 8 aces and committed 2 double faults.

Editors' Prediction
In the past two years, these rivals have faced off three times, with Zverev winning each encounter. While Shelton is currently in excellent form, he hasn't faced top-tier opponents in this tournament yet. In Zverev's recent match against Khachanov, ranked 12th, his serve was both fast and precise, leaving his opponent with little chance to counter it effectively. On return, Ben is comparable to Karen, which should give the German an edge in the upcoming match. Our bet is on a Zverev victory.
