THE PREDICTION
World number one Carlos Alcaraz will play his first match back on the ATP tour since that incredible Wimbledon final last month where he beat four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in five thrilling sets. The 20-year-old is riding a 12-match winning streak after claiming his first ATP title on grass at Queen’s before Wimbledon but he technically takes a 14-match streak into the second round in Toronto after winning both of his Hopman Cup fixtures in three sets late last month. World number 41 Ben Shelton could well be a future rival of Alcaraz as his contemporary at 20 years old and he will throw everything he has into this first encounter as a player for the limelight. The American beat Bernabe Zapata Miralles in straight sets on Tuesday to get a decent foothold on his debut at the Canada Masters but reigning US Open champion Alcaraz should have too much here. The suitably cautious is taking Alcaraz to win outright, though, as the Spaniard can very occasionally start a tournament a little wooden after winning previous titles.
