Brandon Nakashima vs Ben Shelton Prediction & Picks - ATP Indian Wells
by Lou Aguila | in ATP Indian Wells Picks
Ben Shelton eyes another deep run as he vies for a place in the quarterfinal round against fellow American Brandon Nakashima at the 2025 Indian Wells Open on Wednesday. Shelton made it to the fourth round of the Indian Wells, the farthest he has reached in this tournament after he dismantled Karen Khachanov of Russia 6-3 7-5 on Monday. True to his reputation as one of the game’s biggest servers, Shelton fired 8 aces and conceded just one breakpoint conversion against a good returner, Khachanov. Nakashima also reached the third round of the ATP 1000 tournament for the first time in his career following a clinical win over Matteo Arnaldi 6-2 6-4. Nakashima held all his serves, winning 89 percent of his first serves on top of four aces. He also converted three breakpoint opportunities, giving him enough room to pull away from his Italian foe.
