This is their 4th meeting, but the first one at a Grand Slam or on grass. Their most recent meeting was in the round of 16 at Indian Wells-1000 this year, where Sinner won in straight sets.
Sinner has previously won against a left-handed player at Wimbledon, defeating Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the 1st round last year. He has a 2-3 record against left-handed players at Grand Slams overall. In the 2023 season onwards, Sinner has won 7 out of 8 matches against left-handed players at the Tour-level, with his only loss to Shelton in the round of 16 at Shanghai-1000 last year. Overall, he has a 16-7 record against left-handed players at the Tour-level.
Shelton’s only previous match against a world No.1 was against Carlos Alcaraz in the 3rd round at the 2023 Toronto-1000, which he lost. He has defeated Frances Tiafoe, a world No.10, in the quarterfinals at the 2023 US Open.
Sinner is aiming to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the 3rd consecutive year. He could become the first
Italian man to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon thrice. Sinner has already reached 7 Grand Slam quarterfinals, surpassing Adriano Panatta’s record of 6 quarterfinal appearances by an Italian man. If Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti both reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, it will be the first time multiple Italian men have achieved this at the tournament.
Sinner won his first Grand Slam title at the 2024 Australian Open, becoming the first Italian man to win a Grand Slam title apart from Nicola Pietrangeli and Adriano Panatta. He is aiming to win his second Grand Slam title and become the 6th active player to win multiple Grand Slam men’s singles titles.
At Wimbledon, Sinner has a 12-3 win-loss record and has reached the semifinals last year, losing to Novak Djokovic. Shelton is playing in his second Wimbledon and has reached the round of 16 for the first time.
Both players have had a strong run at Wimbledon this year, with Sinner winning 4 matches and Shelton winning 3 matches. Shelton has won all his matches in 5 sets, which could make him the first player in the Open Era to win 4 consecutive five-set matches at a Grand Slam tournament if he wins today’s match in 5 sets.
It will be an exciting match between two talented players vying for a spot in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
