Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Ben Shelton, a 22-year-old American tennis player ranked World No. 12, reached his career-high ranking in March 2025 after an impressive run to the semifinals of the Australian Open. His breakthrough into the Top 200 in August 2022 and subsequently into the Top 100 in November 2022 culminated in his rise to the Top 20 in September 2023. Shelton made history at the 2023 US Open by becoming the youngest American man to reach the semifinals since Michael Chang in 1992, defeating fellow Americans Paul and Tiafoe along the way. His victory over No. 4 Sinner at the 2023 Shanghai Masters marked the first of three ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal appearances. Additionally, Shelton secured his first ATP Tour title at the 2023 Tokyo Open, joining an exclusive list of father-son duos to achieve such success in the Open Era.
Moreover, Shelton’s success extends to his college tennis career at the University of Florida, where he boasted an impressive 65-10 singles record over two seasons. Coached by his father, Bryan Shelton, a former World No. 55 player, Ben clinched the 2021 NCAA team title and the 2022 NCAA singles title. Notably, Shelton’s appearance at the 2023 Australian Open quarterfinals as a 20-year-old marked a significant milestone, becoming the youngest American man to reach that stage since 1982.
On the other side of the net, Pierre-Hugues Herbert, a 34-year-old French player ranked World No. 132, has had a distinguished career highlighted by his achievements in doubles. With his partner, Nicolas Mahut, Herbert reached a career-high doubles ranking of No. 2 and completed a career Grand Slam, winning titles at all four Grand Slam events. Herbert also secured Nitto ATP Finals doubles titles in 2019 and 2021, despite falling short in previous attempts.
As the two players gear up to face each other at the Tennisclub Weissenhof in Stuttgart, Germany, their contrasting career trajectories and strengths set the stage for an intriguing matchup. Shelton’s youth, rapid rise through the rankings, and promising achievements face off against Herbert’s experience, doubles expertise, and formidable resume in doubles play. With Herbert aiming for his 15th ATP Tour quarterfinal appearance and his first on grass since 2019, the confrontation promises high-stakes competition on the grass courts of Stuttgart.
