Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match, Borna Gojo from Croatia will face off against Ben Shelton from the United States. This will be their first meeting on the tennis court. Borna Gojo, who is 27 years old, is currently ranked 410th in the world. His career-high ranking was 72 in November 2023, which he achieved after reaching the quarterfinals of the ATP Tour in Vienna. He also had an impressive performance at the 2023 US Open, where he qualified and reached the fourth round without losing a set, allowing him to break into the top 100 for the first time. Gojo played a significant role in leading Croatia to the Davis Cup final in 2021, winning four singles matches against opponents such as Gunneswaran, Popyrin, Sonego, and Lajovic. He made his ATP Tour main draw debut as a wildcard at the 2018 Winston-Salem tournament, losing to Harrison. Gojo also had a successful career in college tennis, playing for Wake Forest University from 2017 to 2019 and helping his team win the NCAA team title in 2018. He reached the NCAA singles final but lost to his teammate Chrysochos. On the Challenger circuit, Gojo has a record of 106 wins and 79 losses, including three finals appearances and one title at the 2022 Ortisei tournament. He earned his first ATP ranking point at the age of 17 in 2016 before attending college.

Gojo is now seeking his first tour-level win outside of the Davis Cup since his quarterfinal run in Vienna in 2023. He is also aiming for his biggest clay-court victory of his career. Although he has a 0-4 record against top 100 players on clay, he has managed to defeat two top 20 players, Tiafoe and Paul, winning against them at the 2023 Davis Cup and 2023 Vienna tournaments, respectively. A win in Munich would make him the first Croatian to advance in the tournament since Dodig reached the quarterfinals in 2016.

On the other hand, Ben Shelton is 22 years old and currently holds the 15th spot in the world rankings. He achieved his career-high ranking of 12 in March 2025 after making it to the semifinals of the Australian Open. Shelton’s rise in the rankings has been remarkable, as he broke into the top 200 in August 2022, the top 100 in November 2022, and cracked the top 20 in September 2023. At the 2023 US Open, he defeated his fellow countrymen Paul and Tiafoe, becoming the youngest American man since Chang in 1992 to reach the semifinals of the US Open. He also defeated world number 4 Sinner to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinals in Shanghai in the same year. Shelton claimed his first ATP Tour title at the 2023 Tokyo tournament, following in the footsteps of his father Bryan Shelton, who was also a professional tennis player and won tour-level championships. In addition to his success on the professional circuit, Shelton had an exceptional college career, playing for the University of Florida and winning the NCAA team title in 2021. Coached by his father, he also won the NCAA singles title in 2022. Shelton’s performance at the Australian Open in 2023 was noteworthy, as he reached the quarterfinals at the age of 20 in his first trip outside of the United States. This made him the youngest American man to achieve this feat since Giammalva Jr. in 1982 and the youngest American man to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since Roddick at the 2002 US Open.

While Shelton seeks his first victory since his loss in the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells quarterfinals to eventual champion Draper, he has had a dominant record against players ranked outside the top 100. Since Wimbledon, he has won 11 out of 12 matches against such opponents, with his most recent loss coming against Wong, ranked 182nd, in the ATP Masters 1000 Miami 2nd round in March.
