My Prediction
Shelton in 4 sets.If you're looking to serve yourself some easy dough, put your money on the safe bet, Ben Shelton. He's the tenth seed, after all. But don't let that fool you into thinking Bolt isn't a worthy opponent. Sure, Shelton's little rough patch recently - lost to Tien L., Rinderknech A., and Zverev A. - doesn't exactly scream 'Wimbledon champ.'
But then again, Bolt, unseeded and paying out a handsome $4, isn't exactly coming into this on a hot streak. Let's remember his recent loss to Fearnley J., that must've stung a bit. Although Bolt did bounce back with three consecutive victories, we can't ignore his inconsistency.
Sure, Bolt's had a better June than Shelton, and also boasts a few impressive wins, but don't let that cloud your judgement too much – after all, Shelton's superior seeding puts him at a distinct advantage.
Given Bolt's tenacity, I don't expect him to go down easily, but Shelton's got enough firepower to clinch it. On a good day, we could have one heck of a seesaw spectacle on our hands. Is it going to require him to dig deep? Absolutely.
Albert's Prediction: Shelton in 4 sets.
