Ben Shelton vs Lorenzo Sonego Predictions

In four matches between these two, there has never been a straight sets win either way. This one could go the distance.

Head to Head

Ben Shelton Form

Ben Shelton has threatened at tournaments this year but has just not been able to get over the line. He often looks good in tournaments until he runs into a top ranked player.

Shelton has won his three matches at Wimbledon in straight sets. He has dropped serve twice but it hasn't yet cost him a set.

In round one, Shelton beat Alex Bolt 6-4 7-6 7-6 before seeing off Rinky Hijikata 6-2 7-5 6-4. Marton Fucsovics was also well beaten in round three.

Lorenzo Sonego Form

Lorenzo Sonego has not had his strongest year in 2025 and his grass court tournaments have not gone well. Regardless, he has reached the round of 16.

Round one saw Sonego see off Jaime Faria in straight sets before struggling past Nikoloz Basilashvili in four sets. That was followed by an epic five-set battle which Sonego won 6-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 7-6 agaisnt Brandon Nakashima.

Verdict

Ben Shelton v Lorenzo Sonego

Ben Shelton has cruised through to this stage, but Sonego promises to offer much more resistance. I can see this match going the distance, but Shelton is tipped to win in the end.
