The Story

Rivalry Analysis

Shelton has one of the biggest left-handed serves in the game and the firepower to trouble anyone, but Jannik Sinner reads it better than most and turns defence into offence quickly. The 9–1 record reflects Sinner's superior consistency from the back of the court; Shelton's best chance comes on fast indoor hard courts where his serve does more of the work.
