Taylor Fritz is the reigning winner of the Indian Wells tournament, and it makes sense that this rivalry is a priority for the American at this stage of the season. As for the current tone, Taylor has a full order with the form. In mid-December, Fritz won a tournament in Delray Beach, had four fights in Acapulco in early March, knocked out Isner, Shapovalov and Tiafoe, but lost in the semifinals to fellow compatriot Tommy Paul. We believe that the bookmakers quite logically placed Fritz as the favorite of the match.

Unlike Fritz, Shelton had already played one game in Indian Wells, defeating Italian Fognini in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-1. During the match, Ben served five times with five double faults, scoring 65% on his first serve and 55% on his second. Acceptance stats: 38%/65%, winner/enforcer stats: 24/14. Note that before the start of the Masters, Shelton was on a three-fight losing streak: from Paul in Melbourne, from Giron in Delray Beach and from Rune in Acapulco.
