The meeting between Shelton and Nakashima at the Masters in Toronto promises to be exciting. Shelton is in excellent form, demonstrating a high level of play and confidently defeating strong opponents. His aggressive game and physical readiness give him an advantage. Nakashima is capable of putting up a fight, but his results against top players are less consistent. It is expected that Shelton, taking control of the pace of the match and being effective in key moments, will secure the victory. Therefore, I predict Ben Shelton's victory.
Ben Shelton is the favorite in the match against Brandon Nakashima. Shelton has the advantage in previous meetings, showing strong results and not dropping sets. His powerful serve and aggressive play from the baseline make him a dangerous opponent. Nakashima has shown progress, but is not yet able to compete with Shelton. A confident victory for Shelton is expected with a 2-0 set score, such as 6-4, 6-3 or 7-6, 6-4. The total number of games is likely not to exceed 23.5.
