Predictions US Men’s Clay Court Championship Houston
Samuel GIll, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate sees Ben Shelton or Frances Tiafoe as the champion.
Ben Shelton or Frances Tiafoe for me for the win here. Both have had recent success either in match wins or titles and for me are the outstanding players.
Not many come close and given they are the top seeds I’m estimating even that they get to the final against each other. Throw Tommy Paul and Brandon Nakashima with a good run for Martin Damm too at that.
