Command Analysis
Current form
Shelton lost to Giovanni Mpeshi in the Basel title match last week. Ben has a seven-three record on indoor surfaces this season.
Professional qualities
Shelton indoor style is best served by his powerful serve and aggressive forehand, which allow him to either win easy points or take the lead early. He also has a smart approach to the net, which makes it difficult for his opponents, especially on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
Shelton is the triumphant home tournament winner in Houston. He won this tournament this year. It was his second ATP title in his career. The American is currently ranked 19th in the world.

Shelton last eight matches have gone in straight sets.
Current form
Moutet made it to the main draw of the competition in Paris via the qualifiers. He beat both of his opponents, Jaume Munyar and Jakub Menshik, by withdrawal. Corentin has won two of his four matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Moutet relies on his ability to wear down opponents through long rallies and changes of pace, using tactics and on-court cunning. However, his fiery nature often hinders his consistency, and his lack of powerful serves and baseline shots limits his success on fast surfaces.

Moutet is ranked outside the top 50 in the world rankings, at 70th place. The Frenchman has shown his best game this season on clay, reaching the semi-finals in Santiago and Naples.

Moutet is unlikely to withstand the pressure of Shelton powerful attacks. Especially since Ben is currently in excellent shape - last week he played the final at the tournament in Basel. We expect the American to win confidently in the upcoming match.

Three of Moutet last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games, and Corentin upcoming match against Shelton is likely to start with a low first set as well.
