Indian Wells, Jannik Sinner knows what to expect from Ben Shelton

At the Shanghai Masters 1000, the Blue lost in three sets

After settling, in fluency, Struff (6-3, 6-4 the match’s partials), Sinner will face, in the round of 16 of the Indian Wells tournament, the American Shelton. A special challenge for the South Tyrolean, considering that his next opponent è managed to beat him in the recent past. It's happened last October at the Shanghai Masters 1000: 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 for Shelton.

A defeat already avenged in Vienna a couple of weeks later, but one that says a lot about Shelton’s qualities and how he can pose a danger to Sinner, who is eager to continue winning and thus take home the Indian Wells trophy as well. Shelton è a tennis player on the upswing and, above all, not afraid to confront Sinner.

L'azzurro has high regard for Shelton, a 21-year-old of enormous prospect: "Shelton è one of the best serves, left-handed. He plays very well both forehand and backhand, has a’very good hand, I have to prepare it a little bit. The’last time he lost, the first time I lost, but still è it’s always been the’in the match", the words of Sinner himself in the post match of the match with Struff. The feeling è that it will be a very intriguing challenge.
