Ben Shelton vs Jiri Lehecka prediction

Patience was key for Ben Shelton as he stayed laser-focused amidst a rain delay to see off Roberto Bautista Agut. 

The Toronto champion pocketed a 7-6 6-3 victory over the Spaniard to book a round of 16 meeting with Jiri Lehecka.

The Czech ended Adam Walton’s impressive run with a resilient 7-6 7-6 triumph. 

This will be a second meeting between the pair with the American prevailing 6-4 6-4 when they met on the grass of Stuttgart earlier this year. 

Shelton is in sizzling form right now and it’s hard to make a case for Lehecka to win, but if he serves well and the fifth seed has a dip, he certainly has the tools to do damage.
