Ben Shelton vs Kamil Majchrzak Preview
Second seed Ben Shelton will face qualifier Kamil Majchrzak in the first round of the Swiss Indoors 2025. Shelton has had an impressive season so far, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open and the quarterfinals at the Indian Wells Masters early in the hardcourt swing. His runs were ended by eventual champions Jannik Sinner and Jack Draper, respectively.
Shelton’s clay court season was also successful, highlighted by a runner-up finish in Munich and his first-ever fourth-round appearance at the French Open. He broke into the top 10 leading up to Wimbledon and advanced to the quarterfinals in London for the first time.
Upon returning to the hardcourts, Shelton captured his maiden Masters 1000 title at the Canadian Open and subsequently made the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open. However, his US Open campaign ended prematurely due to an injury that forced him to retire in the third round.
Shelton returned to competitive play earlier this month at the Shanghai Masters, where he lost in the first round to David Goffin. With more weeks of rehab and training behind him, he is expected to be in better shape for this tournament.
On the other hand, Kamil Majchrzak has had a more modest season. His best result this year is a semifinal appearance in Marrakech. He also reached the third round of both the US Open and the Shanghai Masters.
Last week, Majchrzak was defeated in the second round of the Stockholm Open by Sebastian Korda. He qualified for the main draw of the Swiss Indoors by defeating Pedro Martinez and Valentin Royer in straight sets.
Ben Shelton vs Kamil Majchrzak Head-to-Head
This upcoming match will be the first meeting between Ben Shelton and Kamil Majchrzak, so the head-to-head currently stands at 0-0.
Analysis
Shelton has compiled a strong 37-19 win-loss record this season. He was also the runner-up at last year’s Swiss Indoors, losing in the final to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
Majchrzak’s qualification for the main draw demonstrates determination, but his chances of making a deep run are slim. He has a 1-10 career record against top 20 players, with his sole victory coming against Karen Khachanov in a five-set match at this year’s US Open.
If Shelton is fully fit, he should be able to progress through this match comfortably.
Prediction
Pick: Ben Shelton to win in straight sets.
