ATP Toronto 🇨🇦

De Minaur A. vs Shelton B.

🧠 Form & Context

Alex de Minaur
• Fresh legs & intensity: Benefited from a third-round walkover and followed it with a gritty win over Tiafoe (6–2, 4–6, 6–4), using relentless court coverage and tactical patience.
• Momentum builder: Recently won Washington—his first title of 2025—and backed it up by reaching his fifth career Masters quarterfinal.
• Big-stage pedigree: Finalist in Toronto last year and a consistent performer at Masters level; thrives in structured, high-stakes QF settings.

Ben Shelton
• Clutch under pressure: Won back-to-back three-setters vs Nakashima and Cobolli, saving break points and holding firm in key moments.
• Masters breakthrough watch: Still 0–3 in Masters QFs and 5–17 vs Top-10 players—this presents a golden chance to turn the tide.
• Explosive upside: His lefty spin serve and bold forehand strike can crack through defensive players—but he must manage mid-match dips in focus.
