Sinner had problems beating Etcheverry, but that doesn't mean that the Italian will have problems in the upcoming game. Jannik knows Shelton well, he has beaten the American three times on Tour, twice in 2024, and he hasn't lost a set to Ben in the last three head-to-head meetings. We believe that this trend in the confrontation between Sinner and Shelton will continue and the Italian will win the upcoming match in two games.
