Ben Shelton Form

Ben Shelton is 41-23 this year, reaching semi-finals in Auckland and Dallas before winning the Houston Open. He failed to hit those heights in Europe, getting to one quarter-final in eight tournaments.

The 22-year-old has been inconsistent on his return to hard courts. His best results came in a semi-final appearance in Washington alongside quarter-final defeats in Cincinnati and Tokyo.

The left-hander hasn’t seen his serve broken in Basel, winning more than 64% of his 2nd serves in all four victories. He took out Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-3 6-4 and Stan Wawrinka 7-6 7-5 before eliminating top seed Andrey Rublev 7-5 6-7 6-4.

Shelton beat the in-form Arthur Fils 6-3 7-6 in the semi-finals, winning 70% of his 2nd serves and not allowing a break point.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard Form

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is 14-11 on the ATP Tour this year, winning the Lyon Open as a wildcard. He reached the Wimbledon fourth round as a lucky loser.

The 21-year-old lost seven of his next nine matches and came to Switzerland on a four match losing streak.

The Frenchman is clearly enjoying the conditions in Basel where his serve is yet to be broken. He beat James Duckworth 7-6 6-3 and Felix Auger Aliassime 6-1 7-6 without allowing a break point.

Perricard defeated Denis Shapovalov 6-7 6-3 7-6 in the quarter-finals, saving all three points. He defeated 4th seed Holger Rune 7-6 6-4 in the semis, winning 72% of his 2nd serves and not allowing a break point.

Verdict

Ben Shelton v Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Ben Shelton and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard haven’t seen their serves broken in Basel. I am expecting this one to go to 3 sets and Shelton to emerge victorious.
