Ben Shelton vs Lorenzo Musetti Prediction & Picks - ATP Australian Open
by Lou Aguila | in ATP Australian Open Picks
Ben Shelton of the United States will vie for a place in the round of 16 when he dices it up against Lorenzo Musetti of Italy on Saturday at the 2025 Australian Open. The hard-hitting American seeks a return trip to the championship stages of the Australian Open after bombing out in the third-round last year. Shelton salvaged his second win in the tournament after outgunning Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain 6-3 6-3 6-7(4) 6-4. True to his reputation as one of the best servers on the tour, Shelton fired 17 aces and 58 points on his first serves, overwhelming his Spanish foe. Musetti posted another hard-earned straight-set win against former top-10 player Denis Shapovalov of Canada 7-6(3) 7-6(6) 6-2. After beating compatriot Matteo Arnaldi in four sets in the opening round, Musetti showed grace under pressure to win the tiebreakers in the first two sets. When he sensed Shapovalov was starting to lose stamina, Musetti unleashed a more aggressive attack in the third set to seal the victory.

Our Ben Shelton vs Lorenzo Musetti Prediction
Shelton has one of the biggest serves in the tour, and at this year’s Australian Open, he proves it once more after scoring 24 aces in two matches. However, Musetti is among the finest returners in the game today. He rarely allows his opponent to rack up more than 10 aces in a match. Another proof why Musetti is the antidote to hard-serving players is his two career wins over Shelton. In those games, the Italian neutralized Shelton’s powerplay with finesse and uncanny ability to return a serve that zooms more than 140 to 150 mph. I think that Musetti has the ability to knock off Shelton from the tournament for the reason that he’s just a bad match-up for the American. Our betting prediction for Ben Shelton vs. Lorenzo Musetti: Musetti will win.
