Abedallah Shelbayh vs Tyler Zink prediction
Shelbayh has impressed critics with a title-winning run in Las Vegas this year. The youngster looks poised to make his mark on the ATP tour and could be seen more often next year. The 19-year-old has a steady all-around game and great composure on the court.
Zink, on the contrary, scraped through a tough contest against Banerjee in the last round. The American has yet to win a title on the Challenger circuit and has a great chance to change that this week. He's only dropped one set in Tiburon so far.
An engrossing contest will be on the cards in the semifinal. Considering their recent results and skill set on hard courts, Shelbayh will have a slight edge in this round. The youngster is unbeaten in his last eight matches and should be able to come out on top.
Pick: Shelbayh to win in three sets.
