Fifth seed and defending champion Ben Shelton has made it to the National Bank Open final without dropping a set. In the title decider, he faces 28th-seeded Brandon Nakashima, who he leads 5-0 in previous meetings. Our prediction here is a straight sets victory for Shelton.
These two players also met in this tournament last year when it was played in Toronto. Shelton won that in three sets with two going to a tie-break. All of their previous matches have seen a tie-break played, so a side-bet on one here could well be profitable..
The 2025 Canadian Open champion has been in excellent form during this tournament. He has had five wins and is yet to drop a set. Of the ten sets he has played this week, only two have seen him lose more than three games.
In the semi-finals, the world number ten defeated Learner Tien 6-2 6-3.
Brandon Nakashima has only won one set in the five previous matches he's played against his fellow American. He is playing in his second ATP Tour outdoor hard court final of the year, the other seven months ago.
Nakashima has dropped sets against Titouan Droguet and Arthur Rinderknech in this tournament.
The last four saw him defeat Rafael Jodar in straight sets.
