When Jannik Sinner plays in Paris: history with Ben Shelton

Jannik Sinner continues his journey at the Paris Masters. The goal is to try to win the tournament, so he can get back to being world No. 1. The next obstacle in the blue’s path is called Ben Shelton, fresh from his fine success against Andrey Rublev.

The match between the two is scheduled no earlier than 7 p.m. today in the new Arena la Defense. A place in the semifinals is up for grabs. Jannik Sinner, after eliminating Zizou Bergs and Francisco Cerundolo, wants to continue to prove he has what it takes to go all the way.

The record between the two tennis players smiles on the’current world No. 2. In seven face-to-face matches, the South Tyrolean has prevailed on six occasions. The last confrontation was staged at the last Wimbledon with Jannik Sinner victorious in three sets. Interestingly, Ben Shelton&#8217s only win also coincides with the first match between the two (Shanghai 2023).

Ben Shelton, after recovering from his shoulder injury (sustained in Flushing Meadows, he only returned to the court in Shanghai), is returning to play at a very good level. The best Jannik Sinner will be needed to beat him. Crucial to be able to count on an incisive serve and make the most of the response.
