Match Analysis

Ben Shelton comes into this match with a strong form index of 64.99 and an Elo rating of 1646.96, reflecting his recent success on grass. He has shown significant prowess with a mean serve index of 98.06, which is notably higher than Fucsovics' mean serve index of 95.10, creating a difference of over 5 points that could be crucial in tight situations. His fatigue level stands at 348 minutes, suggesting he is relatively fresh compared to Fucsovics, who has accumulated 696 minutes of court time in the tournament. Fucsovics, despite a solid form index of 66.79 and a respectable mean return index of 86.97 (which exceeds Shelton's 84.00 by more than 5 points), may struggle against Shelton's serve and overall grass court performance. Looking at recent performances, Shelton has convincingly won his last two matches at Wimbledon, both without dropping a set. This demonstrates his capability to maintain high intensity and focus on grass. In contrast, Fucsovics has experienced mixed results; while he has secured victories in his last two matches, they were hard-fought, including one match where he dropped two sets. This pattern indicates that although Fucsovics can compete, he may find it challenging against the high-caliber play of Shelton.

Final Prediction

Ben Shelton's edge in serve strength and current form positions him favorably against Marton Fucsovics. The key factor to watch will be how Shelton’s serve affects Fucsovics’ ability to respond, especially given the differences in their respective serve indices. With both players showing resilience, this match promises to be a compelling battle on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
