Shelton vs Djokovic Prediction 8 September 2023

When making a prediction on Shelton, it is admirable to say that he has transformed beyond recognition in a short period of time for the second time this year. Last winter, Ben found fame with the general public with a classy performance at the Australian Open (top-8). However, the Melbourne miracle was followed by a prolonged crisis. Due to a banal lack of experience, the American had a hard time on the dirt surface. Although he looked, frankly speaking, bad on the lawn as well. Nevertheless, the athlete's solid potential did not evaporate. He won 187 active games on his home court and relied heavily on his excellent serve (24 break points out of 42).

In the process of preparing a prediction on Djokovic, we are happy to testify that he has shown exemplary discipline over an extended period of time. Novak has had some fantastic results at the majors this season (two trophies and a top-two finish at Wimbledon), deservedly returning to the top of the world rankings. Until recently, the Serb had not won anything in North America for a couple of years due to covid restrictions, but thanks to his triumph at the Cincinnati Masters in August, he remedied that. In New York, however, he struggled only against Laszlo Dierre, experiencing some problems with his serve (seven break points in five games and 17 double faults).

In the final part of the Shelton vs Djokovic prediction, we conclude that everything is very clear here. Ben doesn't have much experience of playing in such stressful games, and we think he will be defeated by Novak in at least one of the sets. An individual total of less than 14.5 is the best option for the match.
