The upcoming first-round match in Paris will mark the duo’s first clash. Their head-to-head stands at 0-0 currently. While Shelton holds a win-loss record of 28-25 in 2023, World No. 26 Fokina is not far behind Shelton with a 30-25 win-loss score this season. Although both players possess the ability to demolish their opponents, with his recent excellent form, Shelton has a higher chance of proceeding to the second round of the event.
