Ben Shelton Form

Ben Shelton started the season as the top seed in Auckland, losing his opening match to Jakub Mensik. He went on a great run at the Australian Open before a straight sets semi-final defeat to Jannik Sinner.

The left-hander was unable to back up with early exits in his next two tournaments, losing against Jaume Munar in Dallas and David Goffin in Acapulco.

The 22-year-old has stepped it up in Indian Wells where his serve has been broken once, defeating Mariano Navone 6-3 6-2 and Karen Khachanov 6-3 7-5.

Verdict

Brandon Nakashima v Ben Shelton

Ben Shelton hasn’t dropped a set in all three wins against Brandon Nakashima. I think the left-hander can repeat the feat in Indian Wells to take a step closer to breaking into the Top 10.
