Ben Shelton of the United States will battle a dangerous clay-court expert in Mariano Navone of Argentina in the second round of the 2025 Madrid Masters on Friday.
Fresh off runner-up finish at the 2025 BMW Munich Open, Shelton joins the fray in Madrid aiming for a deep run in the ATP 1000 Madrid Masters. Shelton, despite coming up short against Alexander Zverev in the championship match in Munich, has shown vast improvement in his game as clay-court player, beating more experienced clay-court specialist like Luciano Darderi and Francisco Cerundolo.
Navone moved on to the second round with a clinical win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4 6-4. The Argentine dominated the exchanges by winning first of his first serve while denying Perricard to create breakpoint opportunitiesLimited Offer. Currently at FanDuel

Our Ben Shelton vs Mariano Navone Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Ben Shelton dazzles on clay, beats Navone in straight sets.
I am really impressed by Shelton’s evolution as a player. From being just a big server, the American has become a multi-faceted player capable of playing well on different surfaces. He proved that during his run to the final in Munich. And despite falling short to Zverev in that match, I honestly think that Shelton has what it takes to stage another deep run in Madrid. Navone poses a strong challenge because of his 225 wins on clay. However, the Argentine has been too inconsistent this year (12-12) that he doesn’t have much momentum to carry him past a top-tier player like Shelton. Our betting prediction for Ben Shelton vs. Mariano Navone: Shelton will win 2-0.
