Expert Betting Tips
This could be a very competitive match. Shapovalov has experience and a very strong baseline game that can trouble Shelton, but the latter's form, fitness level, and aggressive play of late may give him a slight advantage. The probability of winning lies with Shapovalov if he can sustain his consistency while keeping unforced errors low. Otherwise, surging confidence and physicality can get Shelton through. The prediction is only marginally toward Ben Shelton due to his recent momentum and fitness. Yet Denis Shapovalov's experience and ability to raise his game in the big matches could be the turning point for him. Nonetheless, it is going to be a thrilling encounter.
