Ben Shelton v Jerome Kym
Match preview, prediction and odds
Our pick
LeanB. Shelton is 6-4 over the last ten and 27-9 on hard this season. J. Kym is 7-3 over the last ten and 8-7 on hard this season. J. Kym withdrew from a match in the last month.
The pick is B. Shelton to win 2-0. We make it a 52% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.93 or bigger. At 1.72 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

Head to head
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.
