Ben Shelton prepares to face Adrian Mannarino in US Open round 3
Ben Shelton will be facing Adriano Mannarino in the third round of the 2025 US Open. Shelton is currently in sublime form and hasn’t lost a set in this year’s event. Filled with confidence since his Canadian Open win, Shelton would like to turn this form into a deep run in the US Open. Especially because a deep run could be just what he needs to become the No. 1-ranked American. However, in front of him is a player who, until Canada was Shelton’s kryptonite.
Adrian Mannarino, at 37, isn’t the most agile man on the court. However, despite that, he continues to surprise. Coming off a hard-fought battle against Jordan Thompson, Mannarino would like to continue his winning ways. But it’ll certainly be a tough fight for him. So who will prevail in this clash? Let’s find out using the great betting odds provided by BetMGM.

Adrian Mannarino currently leads Ben Shelton 2-1 in their 3 matches against each other. The two faced off each other for the first time in 2023 at Miami. The young Shelton put up a fight but ultimately lost in three sets. Next, they met in the 2024 Australian Open, and that ended up being an explosive 5-set match. While Shelton lost again, the tide had visibly begun to turn between them. The evidence of it came in this year’s Canadian Open when Shelton beat Mannarino in straight sets.
| Year | Event | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Canada | Round of 64 | Ben Shelton | 6-2, 6-3 |
| 2024 | Australian Open | Round of 32 | Adrian Mannarino | 7-6(4), 1-6, 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-4 |
| 2023 | Miami | Round of 64 | Adrian Mannarino | 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 |
| Ben Shelton | Category | Adrian Mannarino |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Current Rank | 77 |
| 35/17 | YTD W/L | 8/10 |
| 1 | YTD Titles | 0 |
| 106/70 | Career W/L | 311/353 |
| 3 | Career Titles | 5 |
While Adrian Mannarino remains competitive, Shelton’s youth and energy could be too much for him. The Canadian Open has already shown that there now exists some gulf between their levels. Still best of 5 is a different ballgame altogether. If all things go well, Shelton can easily snatch this in 3 sets but chances of things going to 4th set cannot be understated.

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
