Vukic— Shelton. Forecast for the ATP Dallas match
Vukic and Shelton will meet in the first round of the tournament in Dallas on February 4. The recent result at the Australian Open, where Shelton managed to reach the semifinals, showed that Ben is quite capable of making his debut in the top 10 in the near future. What will be the start for him at the home tournament in Dallas? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Aleksandar Vukic
AustraliaCurrent form
Last week, Vukic took part in the Davis Cup. He played one match in which he beat Sweden's Leo Borg in two games. This season, the Australian has four wins in seven matches played.
Professional qualities
Vukic is a tennis player whose game is built around a powerful forehand. This punch is his main weapon in practical jokes, while the backhand is much weaker. The Australian also has a good serve, but his style of play is devoid of variability. In addition, he does not have enough mobility to consistently run under a comfortable side.
Current indicators in the tour
Vukic is ranked 66th in the world, although he was once in the top 50. In total, the Australian has won three titles in his career. He won his last trophy two years ago at the challenger in Busan, which was held on an open hardboard.
Interesting facts for betting
Vukic has lost 8 of his last 10 matches to the top 20 players in the world rankings.
Ben Shelton
USACurrent form
Shelton has played in two tournaments this season. In Auckland, everything ended pretty quickly for the American - he lost to Jakub Menshik in the first round. But at the Australian Open, Ben showed a good result, reaching the semifinals - here he lost to Yannick Sinner.
Professional qualities
Shelton is one of the most powerful pitchers on the tour, capable of accelerating the ball to 230 km/h. However, it lacks variability in this component. One of his strengths is excellent footwork: despite his 193 cm height, he easily reaches shortened strokes and moves on the back line as well as top players. Another trump card of the American is a killer forehand, which is especially dangerous in motion.
Current indicators in the tour
Shelton is in 14th place in the world ranking. During his career, Ben has won six trophies, two of which are in the ATP category. Last season, the American celebrated his victory at the home clay tournament, which was held in Houston.
Interesting facts for betting
Shelton is last year's semi-finalist in the Dallas competition.

1.61Tip and bets
Shelton managed to reach the semifinals at the recent Australian Open. In principle, the American had plenty of time to rest before the start of the competition in Dallas. Ben shouldn't have any problems with motivation for this tournament, because he needs to defend last year's semi-final on the local courts.
Our prediction is that Shelton will win with a handicap of (-4) games, a coefficient of 2.36
Bet on the total
Vukic is unlikely to be able to beat Shelton in power tennis. Ben is showing a good game this season - let's remind you that he reached the semifinals at the recent Australian Open. We expect an easy victory for the American in this match.
The second forecast is a total of less than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.81
Bet on the first set
In three of Shelton's last five matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We expect that the upcoming match against Vukic will also start with the "riding" of the first game.
