Ben Shelton

The American tennis player told reporters that he was satisfied with his progress, because the debut at the Final tournament is a serious achievement. In the first round, Shelton could not resist the experienced Oleksandr Zverev, although he forced a fight – 3:6, 6:7. Given the fact that the match against Sinner himself is ahead, the chances of reaching the semi-finals do not look high.

In the upcoming match, the American definitely needs to play for victory, because the opponent is completely within his power. In the current season, the athlete played 40 matches on hard, winning 27. Before the Final Tournament, Shelton was not in the best shape, so I definitely do not expect a breakthrough from him.

Felix Auger Alyassime

The Canadian athlete is playing in the Final tournament for the second time, although the fact of getting here is also valuable for him. Auger Alyassime won this last ticket in Musetta. The start turned out to be difficult, because we had to play against the powerful Yannik Sinner. In the first set, the Canadian managed to impose a fight, losing 5:7, but then there was a medical timeout, problems with his leg and a crushing 1:6 in the second game.

Nothing is lost for the Canadian so far, he lost to the favorite of his group, it should be a little easier with the other opponents. It is not clear what the consequences are for the tennis player after the injury, he may be in full order or withdraw from the tournament.

Personal meetings

The athletes have met only once, last year at Roland Garros, the Canadian won a convincing victory in three sets.

Forecast

Shelton is a slight favorite on paper, which I’ll agree with, it’s still unclear how Auger Alyassime is doing given his injury in the first leg. There is a suspicion that the Canadian will not be 100% ready, which the opponent should take advantage of. Both tennis players will have the desire, as both started with defeats and do not want to continue such a streak.

I will bet here on the success of the American with a small handicap -1.5 games for 1.72.
