He struggled to close out tournaments, making four finals and losing all of them, but getting there is half the battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that all of those finals were on hard courts, where Davidovich Fokina has his best surface winning percentage (60.5%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He beat some strong competition in the run-up to those finals, including Shelton, Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz (twice), and Shapovalov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Check out the Dallas Open schedule<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shapovalov has really struggled to beat top-end competition as of late. Over the last 52 weeks, he is 1-6 against players in the top 20, including 0-5 on hard court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, he is a pedestrian 3-2 this year, losing in straight sets to Martin Cilic in the second round of the Australian Open while being broken six times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian does have good vibes at this venue, but I expect his title defence to end on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Davidovich Fokina is 36-21 on hard courts since the start of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Shelton Dallas Open predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kecmanovic vs. Shelton under 22.5 games (-137):<\/strong> Shelton has a habit of destroying lesser-ranked competition on hard courts, and I think this match should be over quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On hard courts, Shelton is 18-5 against players outside of the ATP top 20 since entering the top 10 last July. He won 13 of those matches in straight sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In that span, this under is 12-3 in best-of-three matches on hardcourts when Shelton plays someone outside of the top 20. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See the latest betting lines for today&#8217;s Dallas Open matches<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kecmanovic and Shelton have never done battle before, but I think the American has a clear advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shelton is ninth in serve rating over the last 52 weeks and has a whopping 36 aces over his two matches played at this event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kecmanovic is a pedestrian 44th in return rating.
