Game Preview

Ben Shelton had a tough path to the quarterfinals. In the fourth-round match, he battled Gael Monfils, who eventually retired, with the result being 1-2 for Shelton. Interestingly, all three sets went to a tiebreak.

Previously, Shelton was better than Nakashima in the opening stage, Carreno-Busta and Lorenzo Musetti. All the events apart from the one against Nakashima saw him win 3-1.

Sonego opened his quest against the three-time Grand Slam champion, Stan Wawrinka. It was 3-1 for the Italian, who had to go through a five-set hell to beat young Fonseca from Brazil. Marozsan was his victim in the third round, 3-1.

The fourth round brought Learner Tien, who miraculously eliminated Daniil Medvedev. However, Sonego didn’t underestimate the American player. He was more than sharp, winning 3-1 and justifying his favorite status stamped by the bookmakers.

Ben Shelton vs. Lorenzo Sonego Head to Head

Shelton and Songeo played twice. Their first meeting was in 2022 at the Cincinnati Masters, where Shelton won 1-2. One year later, these two faced the French Open, where Sonego triumphed 3-1.

Ben Shelton vs. Lorenzo Sonego Prediction
