Trending
Shelton's Wimbledon campaign kicked off with a first-round face-off against Alex Bolt. The American had to play out two tie-breaks but got through the match fairly easily, earning a straight-sets win (6-4, 7-6(1), 7-6(4)). He was firm with his serves, winning 15 aces and registering an 82 percent win rate on his first serves.
Shelton faced Rinky Hijikata in the second round. The American cruised to a 6-2, 7-5, 5-4 lead and was on serve when the match got suspended due to darkness. He had to wait till the next day to eventually win the game in under one minute and seal the win.
Meanwhile, Fucsovics registered two straight-set wins before falling to Chris Rodesch in the qualifiers. Despite the loss, the Hungarian earned a place in the main draw after Borna Coric withdrew from the tournament.
Fucsovics pulled off hard-fought five-set wins over Aleksandar Kovacevic and Gael Monfils in the first and second rounds, respectively. With the wins, the Hungarian made history by becoming the first lucky loser at Wimbledon in the Open Era to reach the third round with back-to-back five-set wins.

Ben Shelton vs Marton Fucsovics prediction
Despite a shaky start to his grass swing, Shelton has looked great at Wimbledon. He has yet to drop a set in the tournament. The American's powerful serves have come into good effect.
Fucsovics showed great determination in both his wins. His overall performance on grass this year has been impressive, achieving an 80 percent win rate. However, getting the better of Shelton would still be an uphill task. The American's strong serve and forehand would prove too good for the Hungarian.
Shelton is expected to make a deep run at Wimbledon and should not have much trouble getting past Fucsovics. However, it might not be as straightforward a win for the American as the first two matches.
Pick: Shelton to win in four sets.
