Martin Damm has a strong serve but his game is yet to trouble Top 20 players. Ben Shelton has had time to recover after Wimbledon and should be too good in the first round.
HTH
This will be the first match between Martin Damm and Ben Shelton.
Damm Closing in on Top 100
Martin Damm has been steadily climbing the rankings and is knocking on the door of the Top 100. He reached the Montpellier semi-finals in February without facing a Top 50 player.
The tall left hander has got past the second round only once in 14 events since then, on clay at the Bordeaux Challenger.
The 22-year-old was last seen at Wimbledon, getting past Marco Trungelliti before a straight sets defeat to Arthur Rinderknech.
