David Goffin is an experienced player who has demonstrated a consistently high level of play over the years. He is known for his ability to keep the ball in play, excellent court movement, and smart tactical thinking.
However, in recent seasons, Goffin has struggled with injuries and inconsistent results, preventing him from reaching his previous level. Although he started this tournament successfully, there are still major concerns about his ability to handle pressure in key moments.
Goffin’s Major Achievements:
American Ben Shelton is a young, ambitious, and highly promising tennis player who has rapidly risen to the elite level of world tennis. His main weapons are his powerful serve and aggressive playstyle, which cause significant problems for his opponents, especially on fast surfaces.
Unlike Goffin, Shelton is currently in excellent physical shape and continues to gain momentum. His confidence on the court and attacking style allow him to dominate over less stable players.
Shelton’s Major Achievements:
Based on the current condition of both players, we expect the match to be dictated by Ben Shelton. Although David Goffin has extensive experience, his inconsistent form raises serious concerns. In high-pressure situations, the Belgian makes too many errors, which could be crucial against the aggressive and relentless Shelton.
We believe that the American will not only secure a victory but will do so with a significant margin. The best betting option is Ben Shelton to win with a handicap of (-3.5). The odds for this outcome are 1.81, making it a highly attractive prediction.
Final Prediction: Ben Shelton to win with a (-3.5) handicap.
Ben Shelton is the clear favorite in this matchup. The American is in excellent form and has been demonstrating powerful, aggressive tennis. Goffin, despite his experience, has struggled with consistency and is likely to make costly errors under pressure. Given Shelton's dominance on fast surfaces, we expect a confident victory.
Our prediction is Shelton to win with a -3.5 handicap at odds of 1.81.
