On the other hand, Ben Shelton had a titanic first round match that stretched to five sets against China’s Zhizhen Zhang. The first set was taken by the Chinese, then Shelton claimed the next two, in the fourth Zhang recovered and won with two breaks, while in the fifth Shelton was able to overcome in the super tie-break. The match lasted 3 hours and 31 minutes.
Ben Shelton also has a large repertoire of shots that he used to overcome Zhang, including forehand winners, volley passes, overhead shots, and points at the net (of which he won 80%). His versatility allows changing the speed and trajectory of the ball to easily mislead the opponent.
Although his serve is not full of aces (he had 4 in the whole match), he does have a very fast serve. His first service had an average speed of 187 km/h and the second one 161 km/h.
Jarry vs Shelton Prediction
The very different matches they had in the first round make the performance of each of these players vary for their match. Although Ben Shelton has beaten Zhang, Nicolas Jarry is a much tougher opponent, who is better rested and has a more effective and powerful serve.
Therefore, in the Jarry vs Shelton match of the second round of the Australian Open 2023, the Chilean will be victorious.
Prediction: Nicolás Jarry wins in four sets.
