Ben Shelton, the second seed at the BMW Open, will be up against Luciano Darderi in the second quarter-final. The two will be meeting for the first time, and the winner will face David Goffin or Francisco Cerundolo next. Below is our prediction of the match.
Darderi comes here on a confident footing, having won his first title of the season, in Marrakech, before heading to Bavaria. In Munich he started on a high, with wins against Christopher O’Connell and Miomir Kecmanovic.
That momentum has set him on seven straight wins, all on clay. Having earlier reached the Naples Challenger final, he is now on just one loss in the last 12 clay matches.
Meanwhile, Shelton is only getting acclimatized to the European clay swing. The American fell at the first hurdle in Monte Carlo but has held on so far in Munich.
In the last round he saw off Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets to take his clay court record for the year to 2-1. With three losses in the last five matches, Shelton will arrive for this game as the underdog.
Save for his latest match, Shelton had dropped at least a set in each of the earlier four. On clay, Shelton has lost five times in his last 10 matches; he failed to win a set in just two of those 10.
