Ben Shelton vs Jakub Mensik Prediction & Betting Tips - ASB Classic
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Top seed Ben Shelton is in action against unseeded Jakub Mensik. This is a second round match in the ASB Classic which is being played on an outdoor hard court in Auckland, New Zealand. Here's our match prediction.
Shelton is the world number 21 but up a place in the live rankings. The American was ranked 16th this time last year when reaching the semi-finals of this tournament. Now aged 22. Shelton ended 2024 with a couple of defeats
Before that though, he'd made it to the final of the Swiss Indoors Championship in Basel. He went deep in several tournaments last year on all surfaces. His only title win was on clay.
Jakub Mensik had a change of opponent for his first round match. Alexandre Muller withdrew and was replaced by lucky loser Pablo Carreno Busta. Mensik won that match in three sets, dropping the middle one.
That win sees the Czech up to 48th in the live rankings. So far this year, he's reached the last eight of the Brisbane International. He's been climbing the rankings in the past year and wasn't even in the top 160 12 months ago.
Shelton won their only previous match and that was on this surface last year. We tip Shelton to get the win.
