Ben Shelton vs Arthur Fils prediction
Ben Shelton will be making his second appearance at the ATP Finals. The American is the world number four and advanced to his first Grand Slam final at the US Open, losing in four sets to Alexander Zverev. He retained his Canadian Open title in August, while he also advanced to another Masters 1000 final in Paris earlier this month, where he lost in straight sets to Carlos Alcaraz. Overall, Shelton has won four titles in 2026.
He faces Arthur Fils on day one. Fils won a Masters 1000 event for the first time in his career earlier this year at the Cincinnati Open, along with a title in Barcelona during the clay court season. He has moved up to a career high of seven in the world.
Shelton leads the head-to-head 2-1 and has won both of their indoor matches, but they have not faced each other since October 2024. The American impressed in Paris last week, while Fils has struggled for form and has also been hampered by a recent niggle.
