Ben Shelton vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Australian Open
by Daniel Ngulu | in ATP Australian Open Predictions
Ben Shelton, the 21st seed at the 2025 Australian Open, will take on compatriot Brandon Nakashima to begin the tournament. The winner of their third career meeting will square off with Pablo Busta or Kamil Majchrzak for a place in the third round. Read on to find our prediction of this match.
Shelton started the season with defeat in his opening-round tie in Auckland. He has now lost three in a row after ending last season with back-to-back setbacks.
But as he loves competing in this event, he will be confident of making a winning start. Shelton is making his third appearance at the Australian Open. He made it to the quarter-finals on his debut but was last season eliminated in the third round.
Shelton, who is placed 20th in the live ranking, has won both of his matchups with Nakashima.
Nakashima is seeking to win his first main draw match at the year’s first major. This is his third main draw appearance. Currently placed 36th in the live ranking, the American has also started the season in a negative tone.
He has lost two of his three matches, picking up from where he ended last season. The 23-year-old has managed just two wins from his last 10 matches going back to last season.
He is coming off a second-round exit at the Adelaide International.
