THE PREDICTION

20-year-old Ben Shelton started the year on fire with a remarkable run to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on his debut but the American takes a 10-18 record into Toronto with a three-match losing streak and just four wins since the start of the clay swing. The current world number 41 will come good again sooner rather than later but it should feel a lot more comfortable backing him in these conditions against a clay-court specialist like Bernabe Zapata Miralles than it does. 26-year-old Zapata Miralles has won just three of his last eight tour-level matches but he came perilously close to ousting Andrey Rublev, a set and match points up before defeat, for a career-best win at the Hamburg Open two weeks ago. Shelton should be coming through in straight sets here but the sensible move is taking the American to earn at least a set.
