Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton has explored into the tennis scene, and see’s himself in the top 100 after only going professional in late 2021. 2022 was a year to remember for the young American, winning three Challenger titles; beating the likes of Eubanks, Couacoud, Vukic and Kovacevic. He also made a statement at the big stages, beating Sonego and Ruud at Cincinnati! His game is very entertaining to watch, and will no doubt be a tour player for a very long time. He didn’t start the new season well, losing to Duckworth. Though this can be forgiven as this is the first time he’s played a professional match abroad. It’s very good he came to Australia early, setting himself up for a good run at the Australian Open.
Zhizhen Zhang
Zhang has been grinding hard in 2022, winning a Challenger title and being a finalist in two others. His good results earnt him a place in the top 100. He seemed to struggle towards the end of the season, losing out to players like Virtanen, Marchenko, Cobolli and Passaro.Zhang has been grinding hard in 2022, winning a Challenger title and being a finalist in two others.

He’s struggled at the start of 2023 too, losing out to Popyrin 2-6 3-6. Shelton’s game is going to make Zhang really struggle, and will have to capture his form during the middle part of 2022 if he wants a win.
Ben Shelton vs Zhizhen Zhang Prediction
Ben Shelton has been in Australia long enough for me to be confident of securing this play. There’s not much doubt that Shelton is the better player, the only slight worry was that this is the first time he was playing professional tennis abroad. But with three matches under his belt, and constant practising at the venue, the handicap on both games and sets look great.
