Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for a matchup for the ages between Arthur Rinderknech and seed number 6, Ben Shelton. Now, Shelton is coming on a roller-coaster ride, there are ups and there are downs, but he's shown his ability to swoop back at full force, illustrated by his neat love set wins over Lehečka and Herbert. He's kind of like that cat that ate all the cream, but then you remember, cats are lactose intolerant.
Meanwhile, our unseeded friend, Rinderknech, he's been having a bit of a tough time lately, hasn't he? Taking a tumble here and there with some unfortunate losses, including one from Moutet and another from the sturdy Fucsovics. However, let's not forget about his surprising turnaround against Monday, serving him a dose of early week blues.
So here’s the question you’re all waiting for: who's going to clinch this one? If I were a betting man, and occasionally I have been known to enjoy a little flutter, I'd hang my hat on Shelton. His recent performances, his ranking, his determination, and that little bit of cat-like mystery he brings to the court makes him our likely valiant victor.
Albert’s Prediction: Shelton in 2 sets.
