The Story

Rivalry Analysis

A left-handed serve against one of the cleanest forehands in the game. Shelton's delivery is the single biggest factor: it is difficult to read, and it gives him free points in the tight games that have decided three of their four meetings.

The sample is still small enough that the 3-1 should not be over-read. Fritz has the more reliable baseline game across a full season, and this is a rivalry likely to be replayed many times, with the US hard-court swing the natural stage.

Betting
