Over 37.5 Games

Anticipate a display of exceptional shot-making, strategic brilliance, and relentless determination, all contributing to a thrilling contest that is set to exceed the game count of 37.5.

Ben Shelton to Win

In a match that promises to be a hard-fought battle, we are backing Shelton to emerge as victorious against Sonego. Both players have struggled to find their rhythm on the European clay court swing of the ATP Tour, making this encounter a tossup. However, Shelton holds the advantage with his previous win over Sonego at the Cincinnati Masters in 2022. With his impressive performances in recent tournaments and his relentless determination, the American is the one to back in this highly competitive matchup. He can call upon his quarter-final run in the Australian Open to push him forward, an experience Sonego cannot match.

Ben Shelton vs Lorenzo Sonego Preview

Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the French Open.

Ben Shelton

The 20-year-old American showcased his potential at the Australian Open earlier this year, where he reached the quarterfinals. What makes Shelton’s achievement even more remarkable is that he had limited international experience prior to this tournament. However, he has quickly adapted to unfamiliar playing conditions and has shown considerable progress on European clay courts. With notable second-round finishes in Estoril and Barcelona, as well as strong performances against established opponents, Shelton is poised to make a mark in his French Open debut.

Lorenzo Sonego

The experienced Italian player has consistently displayed a high level of performance on the tennis circuit. Soengo achieved a significant milestone in his career with a round-of-16 appearance at the French Open in 2020. Last year, he came close to replicating that success, falling just short in a thrilling five-set battle against Casper Ruud in the third round. While he has faced challenges against top-ranked opponents, preventing him from securing notable victories, Sonego’s skill and determination are undeniable.
