Ben Shelton has developed a habit of being involved in long, closely contested matches this season. A large proportion of his best-of-three-set matches have gone the distance, reflecting both his fighting qualities and his tendency to face tight battles against quality opposition. That trend makes another extended contest a realistic possibility.
Shelton Eyes A Return To Winning Ways In Canada
- Bergs has a 1–3 record in third-round Masters matches.
- He has a 2–13 career record against Top 10 players.
- Shelton has failed to register multiple wins in two of his previous three Canadian Open appearances.
- He has a 23–10 record against players outside the Top 20 in 2026.
HTH - Ben Shelton leads 1-0

Bergs Chases Another Upset
Zizou Bergs came from a set down to defeat Sebastian Baez 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and reach the third round in Montreal. After dropping the opening set, the Belgian did not face a single break point over the final two sets. It was also his first career main-draw win at the Canadian Open.
Until the grass swing, Bergs had registered multiple tour-level main-draw wins only once this season. However, he recently lifted his maiden ATP Tour title in Eastbourne and followed it with a third-round appearance at Wimbledon, giving him a significant confidence boost.
Bergs has played seven hard-court events this season but is yet to record multiple main-draw wins in any of them. The last time he achieved that on hard courts was at the Shanghai Masters last year.

Shelton Builds on Winning Start
Ben Shelton began his title-defense campaign with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Jenson Brooksby. The American dropped serve once and converted three of the nine break-point opportunities he created.
The 23-year-old has won three titles across three different surfaces this season. However, he failed to defend his ranking points at both the French Open and Wimbledon, leaving him in danger of slipping out of the top 10.
Apart from lifting the Montreal title last year, Shelton has failed to register multiple main-draw wins in his other two Canadian Open appearances.

Verdict
Rather than expecting a routine victory, the value lies in a long match. Backing Ben Shelton to win in three sets, over 21.5 games in the match, and over 2.5 sets all look like attractive options.
Ben Shelton 2-1
