Pronostic ATP Open d’Australie
Make way for one of the most attractive posters on paper for the 3rd round of the Australian Open between the American Ben Shelton and the Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
-Having arrived on the ATP circuit for several years now, we almost forget Lorenzo Musetti is only 22 years old. After having had his best season last year with a semi-final at Wimbledon and a bronze medal at the Olympics. Ambitious again in 2025, the Italian assumed his status during the first two rounds despite a very homogeneous part of the table. Starting by dominating his compatriot Matteo Arnaldi (39th) in 4 rounds, before taking the measure of the former world No. 10, the Canadian Denis Shapovalov. Two good matches to start his Australian Open and allow the transalpine to reach the 3rd round with an upcoming confrontation against Ben Shelton.
Just like in 2024, the American finds himself in the 3rd round of the Australian Open but unlike last year, the 20th player in the world will not want to stop at this stage of the competition. At 22 years old, the Atlanta native is already showing maturity, as during the first two meetings this week. Masterfully winning over his compatriot Brandon Nakashima to start his tournament, Ben Shelton then had to tighten the game in the second round against the Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta. A success in 4 sets against the Iberian tennis player which will make him face the Italian for a place in the round of 16 of the Australian Open.
