THE PREDICTION
This could end up the most thrilling clash of the Laver Cup between two youngsters on the fierce rise up the rankings. Team World’s Ben Shelton set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 19th after his incredible run to the semi-finals of the US Open were ended by eventual champion Novak Djokovic, already bettering his remarkable run to the last eight at the Australian Open on his Melbourne debut in January. 19-year-old Fils has had an almost entirely different but not lesser breakthrough season with several quality campaigns on the ATP tour, including winning his maiden ATP title at the Lyon Open in May. The Frenchman reached the semi-finals of the Hamburg 500 in July to see him on his way to a current career-high ATP world ranking of 44th but he has so far claimed just one win on hardcourts since the start of the swing. Conditions should heavily favour Shelton here on court and Team World off court all weekend as the defending champions at home. Back Shelton to win outright, with three sets likely in this first encounter between potential future rivals.
