Taylor Fritz vs. Ben Shelton best bets: ATP Toronto odds, picks, predictions
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The tennis calendar is relentless, and can make the sport feel like a bit of a chore at times, but there's nothing quite like it when it peaks. And it will do just that Wednesday night when the two best American players, Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton, meet in the semifinals of the Canadian Masters in Toronto. This is just the second career meeting between Fritz and Shelton, with the first occurring in the first round of the Indian Wells Masters tournament in March 2023. This match should have a much different feel from that contest, which Fritz won in three sets, as both players have taken massive strides in their respective careers. ATP Toronto: Fritz vs. Shelton odds, predictions Player Odds Taylor Fritz -175 Ben Shelton +137 Odds via bet365 It's no surprise that Fritz is the favorite Wednesday night, given his edge in experience and his higher ranking, but some signals point to this match being closer to a coin flip than even these odds imply. At the beginning of the season, you'd argue that Fritz was a good role model for Shelton in how he could advance his career. Like the latter, the former burst onto the scene thanks to a massive serve, but his all-around game needed to catch up to his best weapon. Eventually, the rest of Fritz's game got to a point where he wasn't too reliant on his serve, and he's shot up the rankings because of that. Taylor Fritz is the betting favorite against Ben Shelton for Wednesday's semifinal. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect The Californian is ranked as the No. 4 player in the world (a career best), and has won 19 of his last 22 matches. It's been a banner 2025 campaign for Fritz, though he'd certainly like to add a second Masters title — and first since 2022 — to his mantle. Shelton's career has plenty of similarities to Fritz's, but he seems to be accomplishing things at a quicker pace. The former Florida Gator has established himself as a real threat at Grand Slams, and he's got a couple of titles already under his belt. The 22-year-old still can stand to be more consistent, but he's already solidified himself as a top-10 player, and a little more growth in his game could see him make a push for one of the top four seeds at Grand Slams in 2026. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps With both players in terrific form and no real fitness concerns to worry about, Wednesday's match points to a slobberknocker. Given that both combatants have all-world serves, we'll likely see a tiebreak or two, and that means that this match will likely be decided by a mistake, a break, or a bounce. If that is the case, then the value is with the underdog, Shelton, to come out on top in a long one.

Here are the best first-round ATP matches to watch in the Cincinnati Open
After two days of qualifying, the first round of the Cincinnati Open is slated to begin Aug. 7 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. The ATP main draw took place Aug. 5. Here are the top first-round men's matches to watch while the majority of the world's top players await in the Round of 64. More: Novak Djokovic out of Cincinnati Open for second straight year Will Gael Monfils notch another Cincinnati upset? One year ago, Gael Monfils became the second-oldest player to defeat a top 3 player this century with an upset of Carlos Alcaraz in the Round of 32. Monfils, 38, has reached the Round of 16 in Mason in each of his previous three appearances. Monfils will face Nishesh Basavareddy in the first round. If the veteran can take out the American wild card, Monfils would get a second-round matchup with World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, the 2021 Cincinnati Open champion. Monfils is 3-1 all-time against Zverev, though the two haven't met since 2021 (Indian Wells). More: 'Really special.' Here are the local products to watch in the 2025 Cincinnati Open Americans Tristan Boyer, Brandon Holt square off in Cincinnati Upon the initial release of the main draw, the only matchup featuring two Americans is between wild cards Tristan Boyer and Brandon Holt. Of the 37 nations represented in Mason, the United States has the largest contingent with 24 players. With a combined 3-11 record between them, one will start the Cincinnati Open on the right foot. Holt (0-3) has never won a singles match in an ATP Masters 1000 event, despite playing his way through qualifiers in Cincinnati last year and Miami in March. Boyer won a first-round tilt at Indian Wells in March and is making his Cincinnati debut. Will former Cincinnati open champion Borna Coric face Taylor Fritz? Borna Coric, who pulled off an improbable run to the Cincinnati Open title in 2022, is in danger of slipping out of the top 100 (No. 92). Coric lost in the first round of qualifying last year in Mason and will face Christopher O'Connell in the first round. Should he advance, Coric would set up a matchup with No. 4 Taylor Fritz. Coric is 4-1 all-time vs. Fritz, but the American rolled to a 6-3, 6-2 win over Coric in the United Cup in December. Corentin Moutet begins Cincinnati Open vs. Mackenzie McDonald Fans in Mason may not know much about Corentin Moutet, but they could be educated soon enough. The 26-year-old Frenchman enters Cincinnati with a career-high ranking (No. 46). He has played his way through qualifying three times in Cincinnati but has yet to break through in the main draw (0-3). Moutet is coming off a semifinal run in Washington, a first-round win in Wimbledon and a runner-up finish in an ATP 250 (Mallorca, Spain). He'll face American Mackenzie McDonald, who reached the Cincinnati Open Round of 16 in 2023, in the first round.

Stephen Nedoroscik returns from Olympic fame, plans to ride the pommel horse through LA 2028
Stephen Nedoroscik was the breakout star of the Paris Olympic men's gymnastics competition as Pommel Horse Guy, earning team and individual bronze medals. But after taking nine months off from the sport, he is not assured more glory at this week's Xfinity U.S. Championships It's his first meet since the 2024 Games and, he hopes, his first meet on the road to a return Olympic trip at LA 2028. 'Three months leading up to a competition after a nine-month break is pretty crazy,' he said in a press conference Wednesday on the eve of nationals in New Orleans. 'So entering the gym after that long break, I kind of gave myself this little bit of buffer time to decide, is it worth pushing for USAs (national championships)? Or is it worth just taking my time with this comeback? Nick Zaccardi, 'But, pretty quickly, I started getting my skills back, like within the first few weeks, and I started feeling really confident in myself. I said, 'You know what, why not just go for it?' The worst that happens is it doesn't go well, and that's something I'm OK with. But how cool would it be if I went here and did good and after only three months of training and nine months off and just be amazing? So I wanted to take this opportunity, give it my all and kind of be self-forgiving with whatever the result is. There's a lot of reasons I might not have come here, but I've moved past all of those, and I've decided I want to be here, and I want to give it my all.' Nedoroscik followed the Paris Olympics by placing fourth on 'Dancing with the Stars' in the fall. He then toured with the show into April and played some chess. He returned to gymnastics training in Florida in May. He said his pommel horse routine this week is 'probably insanely hard for me to do, considering the circumstances.' He was the oldest on the five-man Olympic team, four of whom are competing this week. 'I'm 26 now. For a lot of gymnasts, that's kind of pushing it,' he said. 'But I've always told myself, I want to be done with the sport when my body's done with the sport. And I'm still getting better. I'm still getting better in the gym every day, and I feel like I'd be doing myself almost a dishonor to not see how far I could go with the sport. I want to continue going. When I start feeling myself, start plateauing and my body starts giving out, I think that'll be when I am finally ready to be done with the sport.' The six-man roster for October's World Championships will be named after the two-day competition in New Orleans (Thursday and Saturday for the men). There is no team event at this year's worlds. Just the individual all-around and the apparatus finals, including pommel horse (which Nedoroscik won at the 2021 Worlds). To automatically secure a spot at 2025 Worlds, a gymnast must this week win one of the six apparatus titles with a difficulty score at least equal to the best posted at the Asian and European Championships back in the spring. If fewer than six men do that across all of the events, then the rest of the team is chosen by a committee. Patrick Hoopes, who actually outscored Nedoroscik on pommel horse at the Olympic Trials, is in the nationals field and has been competing all year — both internationally and as an NCAA champion for Air Force. Hoopes had a 6.0 difficulty score at the World University Games last month. The top difficulty score from Europe and Asia was 6.2. On June 28, Nedoroscik posted a training video of a 5.8 difficulty routine — with errors, he noted — in his first week back doing full sets. He mixes that competitive mindset — including the ability to solve a Rubik's Cube in eight seconds — with a playful demeanor. Nedoroscik captioned a recent post commemorating a year since Paris with a closing line, 'Stay loose n goofy.' 'You have to be a little bit crazy to do one event for as many years as I've done it,' he said. 'But for me, it's all about going after those marginal gains. How can I make this one thing I've done for 10 years a little bit better?'
