Ben Shelton

Shelton 4-0 head-to-head, 2-0 on hard

Shelton is 4-0 against Shapovalov, 2-0 on hard courts, and the most recent meeting went his way in a Dallas third-set tiebreak in February. He has already survived tiebreak sets against Tallon Griekspoor and Hubert Hurkacz in this draw, and the Ashe night session is where the Montreal champion does his best work. Shapovalov needed 2 hours 25 minutes and a 9-7 breaker to close out Luca Van Assche.
