Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Ben Shelton Prediction: Shelton still has nothing to show

Prediction for the ATP Cincinnati Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Ben Shelton match which will take place on August 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Stefanos Tsitsipas

The winner of the hard tournament in Los Cabos sensationally lost in the first ATP Toronto match to Gael Monfils in two games. Monfils had a powerful match, and there was a feeling that Stefanos was not ready for such resistance from Gael. As a result, Monfils won with a score of 6:4, 6:3 in an hour and 26 minutes. So, we expect Tsitsipas to be careful in the first match in Cincinnati.

Ben Shelton

Ben has more defeats than wins on hard after the grass part of the season. There were failures in Atlanta and Washington, a victory in Toronto over Zapata Miralles, and a defeat from Alcaraz in the second round. In the first round of Cincinnati, Shelton beat his compatriot Eubanks in three games. The match against Christopher lasted two hours and three minutes. Shelton lost the first set 5:7 but won the next two with the same score, 6:4. During the game, Ben served 9 times with three double faults and won 78% of points on the first serve and 69% on the second. Return statistics: 35%/25%, winners/unforced errors statistics 26/5.

Expert Betting Tips

Shelton still has nothing to show at hard tournaments after the grass part of the season. Shelton's statistics are negative. Tsitsipas played in Mexico at a perfect level but failed in Toronto. However, Tsitsipas was unlucky with the draw in Canada. The defeat from Monfils has become a shake-up for Tsitsipas, who will take ATP Cincinnati and the opening match more seriously than the game against the Frenchman. We are betting on a confident victory for the favorite.
