Can the American exact revenge for the US Open loss?
No. 2 seed Ben Shelton takes on Adrian Mannarino in a repeat of their US Open shocker at the 2026 ATP Dallas Open Round of 16 on Friday. Shelton is looking to enter his third consecutive quarterfinal of the year this week, but the Frenchman has historically been someone who has gotten the better of him. Despite both being left-handers, their styles are supremely contrasting which makes this an intriguing match-up. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned as we break down all you need to know about this marquee clash.
Ben Shelton has been ranked in the Top-5 during the second half of 2025, and currently sits at No. 9 in the world. A two-time Grand Slam semifinalist, the 23-year-old has won three singles titles so far. This includes a championship run at the Canada Masters last year and a career record of 117 wins and 79 losses. Adrian Mannarino is a veteran of the ATP Tour who turned pro way back in 2004. After two opening round exits in January, the World No. 52 produced a remarkable runner-up finish at the Open Occitanie in Montpellier. He also has the upper hand in the rivalry with Shelton.
