LiontipsShelton - Opelka: betting tip (cf 2.05) and bets on the Indian Wells ATP match
Command Analysis
Shelton will have to defend last year's quarterfinals on the courts of Indian Wells. This season, the 23-year-old American has five wins and two losses on the open hard court. Ben held his last tournament in Dallas, which he eventually won. For Shelton, it was the fourth ATP title of his career.
Opelka made a successful start on the home courts of Indian Wells, breaking the resistance of his compatriot Ethan Quinn. The 28-year-old American showed excellent play on his serve, won a tense first set, then showed composure in the tiebreak in the second game and brought the matter to a logical conclusion (7-5, 7-6). Reilly has scored four wins with three losses on the open hard court this season.

1.33Tip and bets
At the moment, Shelton is in his best playing form, which he clearly proved at the victorious tournament in Dallas. So Ben is rightfully the favorite for the upcoming match. Especially considering the statistics of personal meetings: Shelton leads in the confrontation with Opelka with a score of 2-0, and both victories were achieved on the hard surface. The specific, viscous hard court in Indian Wells will make Ben's enormous advantage in speed and movement on the court even more noticeable. Shelton is able to consistently return tight balls to the game, repeatedly knocking the American giant out of his comfort zone and provoking mistakes. Due to his more reliable work on the back line, Ben, it seems to us, will win this match with a comfortable score.
Our prediction is that Shelton will win with a handicap of (-3) games by a factor of 2.05
