Having reached the semi-final stage of the US Open back in 2023, Ben Shelton will be looking to lay down a serious challenge at Flushing Meadows this time around, and his early-round efforts tell us that he could well be on his way to doing just that. Standing between the American and a fourth-round spot in Denis Shapovalov, who has not been beyond the third round of this particular Grand Slam since 2020.
At odds of -175, it's worth betting on Ben Shelton, who has stepped on the gas since returning to North American shores, to win this match by two or more sets. Denis Shapovalov is no poor player, but he hasn't done enough in recent weeks to suggest that he can avoid a fairly convincing defeat against the current world number nine.

Our Ben Shelton vs Denis Shapovalov Prediction
Denis Shapovalov can definitely compete against top players, make no mistake about that, but by dropping sets against two lesser players at this tournament, the Canadian doesn't exactly look in strong enough form to seriously trouble Ben Shelton, whose recent hard-court form is hard to ignore. Shelton has really enjoyed himself on this North American hard-court swing, winning most of his matches by at least two sets.
As we can see from the above, Shelton also has a fine recent hard-court record in Grand Slams, winning six out of seven such matches by two or more sets in 2026.
