Fifth seed Ben Shelton is out to make it eight wins in a row. The Toronto champion faces unseeded Roberto Bautista Agut in round three of the Cincinnati Open. Will we see Shelton's winning streak ended? Read our match prediction below.
Shelton is currently a career-high seventh in the live rankings but can move up to sixth if winning this match. The 22-year-old began this Masters tournament with a win over Camilo Ugo Carabelli. He won the first set 6-3 and his opponent retired when 3-1 down in the second.
The 2023 US Open semi-finalist now has a 20-7 hard court record this year. He's reached at least the quarter-finals in each of his last three tournaments.
This is the third match between these two players and Shelton leads 2-0. Both wins were achieved on hard courts last year. For the winner of this match, the opponent in the last 16 will be either 22nd seed Jiri Lehecka or Adam Walton.
Roberto Bautista Agut has had straight sets wins over Daniel Altmaier and Cameron Norrie. The Spaniard is now 47th in the live rankings. His good run in Cincinnati is a welcome one after losing his previous three matches and had only one hard court victory in 2025.
We tip Shelton to win in straight sets.
