BEN SHELTON VS CORENTIN MOUTET PREDICTION

Ben Shelton lost a close final at the hands of Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in Basel on Sunday so he will have to pick himself up and go again for this quick turnaround in Paris.

He enjoyed an excellent week in Basel playing some high level tennis and he can take plenty of positives from that. He beat the likes of Arthur Fils, Andrye Rublev and Stan Wawrinka en route to the final but he will need to find the same energy in Paris now.

He meets Corentin Moutet who has been somewhat fortuitous to get through the qualifying rounds. He met Jaume Munar and then Jakub Mensik and while he won the first set in each of those matches, both opponents withdrew from the match. He has not won a main draw match at any event since August and his form has been pretty poor.

Moutet will have crowd support on his side and will be fired up to do well but his form is not there. Shelton may not be on his game like he was last week for this first-round match, but he will have far too much quality for Moutet.
