LeanWONB. Shelton is 6-4 over the last ten and 25-8 on hard this season. D. Altmaier is 4-6 over the last ten and 4-13 on hard this season. The head to head is B. Shelton 0-1.
The pick is B. Shelton to win. We make it a 85% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.18 or bigger. At 1.12 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

This season & this event
Ranking points fall off a year after they are earned, so a player who went deep here last year must match it or drop in the rankings. That shapes effort in a way the price does not always show.
