Jannik seemed on the verge of a sensational elimination in his match against Dimitrov when the Bulgarian was forced to retire due to a nasty injury. Now there is also great concern for the Italian’s condition, who has a right elbow injury that is limiting his shots. The match against the American is still to be assessed: let’s find out the predictions and odds for Sinner-Shelton scheduled for Wednesday, July 9, at 3:30 p.m.
SINNER-SHELTON PREDICTION ODDS— Sinner was playing one of the worst matches of his career, certainly the worst since becoming world number one, but his fall in the first game and the injury to his right elbow, which required medical attention, certainly limited his performance. With Dimitrov leading 6-3, 7-5, Jannik’s fate seemed sealed, as there were no signs of a comeback even in the third set, which ended 2-2 due to the Bulgarian’s injury, his fifth consecutive withdrawal from a Slam tournament.
Grigor’s tears were moving, as he had played stellar tennis in the first two sets. Sinner will now have to assess the condition of his right elbow and see how much potential he can express in the quarterfinals against Ben Shelton, who is in great shape. A 3-1 win for Sinner in the set betting for this match is priced at 3.30 on Better Lottomatica, 3.20 on Netbet, and 3.18 on Gazzabet.
THE PREVIOUS RESULTS ARE FAVOURABLE— Sinner has lost only one of the six matches played at ATP level against the American player: in 2023 in Shanghai, Ben won in the third set with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 7-6. Then came five victories for the Italian: again in 2023 in Vienna, in 2024 in Indian Wells, at Wimbledon and in Shanghai, and in 2025 in Melbourne, in the semifinals of the Australian Open. It should be noted that in these five defeats, the American has never won a single set against Jannik. But the precedents will be of little comfort if Sinner does not recover his best form and his usual performance, which was called into question during the match against Dimitrov.
