LiontipsShelton vs Etcheverry. Prediction and bets on the ATP Cincinnati match
Command Analysis
Current form
Shelton has already had success on hard courts. The American recently reached the semi-finals of the competition in Washington. Ben has victories over Denis Shapovalov, Brandon Nakashima and Radu Albot. In Cincinnati, Shelton overcame the barrier of the first round, defeating Reilly Opelka in two tie-breaks.
Professional qualities
Shelton is an aggressive tennis player with a strong serve and approaches to the net. The American is not so successful on the return, so very often in his matches you can see a tie-break.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2024, Ben has 23 matches on outdoor hard courts. The American celebrated victory in 14 of them. Thanks to these results, Ben is in 14th place in the world ranking. This is his best result in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Well, what can I say? Shelton on hard means a high probability of tie-breaks. Even in the first set. For example, this has happened in 4 of Ben's last 5 matches on this surface.
Current form
The Argentine is a clay court player, so you shouldn't expect great results from him on hard. Nevertheless, he has some successes on this surface. In Montreal, Etcheverry managed to beat Nicolas Jarry, and here he dealt with Matteo Arnaldi. Both matches ended in three sets.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry also has a good serve, but his style of play is more suited to clay. On faster surfaces, Thomas looks unconvincing. The tournament in Cincinnati will probably be no exception.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry prefers clay. He has played only nine matches on hard this season. The Argentine has won only four of them.
Interesting facts for betting
Two of Etcheverry's last three matches have ended in three sets. The Latin American is currently struggling on open hard courts, so there is a high probability that the same thing will happen again.
Tip and bets
In Montreal, the Argentine lost to Rublev by five games. In principle, something similar can be expected in the confrontation with Shelton. The American will simply crush the Argentine with his aggression. We believe that Thomas will not last long.
Our prediction is Shelton with a handicap of (-2.5) games at 1.78
Bet on total
Unless something extraordinary happens, it should all end in two sets. It is unlikely that Etcheverry will be able to withstand the pressure of the aggressive American.
Betting Tip - total under 23.5 games for 1.72
Tiebreak bet
As we can see, tie-breaks are often played in matches between these players. Most likely, the face-to-face confrontation will not be an exception.
