Prediction published on 09/10/2023, 02:49  by Kennedy Kechula in Tennis Predictions

In-form players Jannik Sinner, seeded sixth, and 19th seed Ben Shelton will meet on Tuesday at the Shanghai Masters. The winner of this fourth-rounder will next play either Sebastian Korda or Francisco Cerundolo in the quarterfinals. Jannik Sinner is on course to win back-to-back tournaments in Asia. He arrived here after his triumph in Beijing and has now won his last seven matches. This impressive run moved him up to a new career high of fourth in the ATP. Sinner defeated Sebastian Baez in three sets in the last round. The win was his 51st of the season and 28th in 34 outings on hard courts.

Ben Shelton has also been in fine form in the run-up to this fixture. He has won eight of his last 10 matches with the majority of those coming in his impressive run at the US Open. Shelton recorded his best-ever Grand Slam finish by making the semifinals at Flushing Meadows. He has ridden that momentum and won his last three matches after his loss to eventual US Open champion Novak Djokovic. The American defeated Roman Safiullin in three sets to set up this mouthwatering tie with Sinner. Despite his impressive form at the moment, Shelton still is on a losing record. He has compiled a 22-23 record and has won 15 of 27 matches on hard courts.
