31st seed Zizou Bergs had a tough opening match in the National Bank Open in Montreal. It doesn't get any easier in round three as he faces fifth-seeded Ben Shelton. His opponent has reached three outdoor hard court quarter-finals this year. Our prediction is he will beat Bergs.
Either ninth seed Casper Ruud or 22nd seeded Joao Fonseca will be faced in round four.
Ben Shelton leads his opponent 1-0 in previous meetings. That was on clay two years ago and now they meet on an outdoor hard court. The American has won nine of his 14 matches played on this surface in 2026.
Quarter-finals have been reached in Auckland, the Australian Open and most recently in Washington.
His first match here saw him defeat unseeded Jenson Brooksby in straight sets.
Zizou Bergs was 34th in the latest ranking, 24 places below Shelton.
He has won seven outdoor hard court matches this year, but lost the same number.
This is the first time he's been past round two on this surface in 2026. There have been three first round exits for him but being a seed, he was given a bye into the second round of this Masters tournament.
He had to go to three sets to win his opening match here after losing the first set to Sebastian Baez.
