Jan-Lennard Struff vs Ben Shelton Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Jan-Lennard Struff
Jan Lennard Struff played a great first-round match at the Madrid Masters, winning 6-3 6-1 against Lorenzo Sonego. He didn’t originally make it into the main draw but got in as a lucky loser after losing in the final qualifying round. If he wins against Shelton, he’ll have his best-ever result at the Madrid Masters. Struff has only made it past the first round three times this year, but they were all at the Masters level.
Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton had never played on European clay until recently and has struggled to make the adjustment. He made it to the second round in both Estoril and Barcelona and played well against experienced players like Dominic Thiem and Casper Ruud. However, Grigor Dimitrov ousted him in the first round of Monte Carlo Marsters and has yet to relive the heights of his quarterfinal finish in the 2023 Australian Open.
