The American powerhouse has a serve-heavy style of play and a strong mentality, which has contributed to his meteoric rise. Unfortunately, he has failed to back it up with a strong game while returning serve. Although Shelton ranks within the five best ATP servers in terms of service points won, he falls to the 47th position on the return of serve.<\/p><p>On the other hand, Francisco Comesana is still a project under construction when it comes to hard courts. The Argentine won around 50% of the total points played last year, and has a success rate of 42.5% over the course of his career. Owing to his height of 5&rsquo;10&rdquo;, Comesana will find it difficult to make inroads on the express Shelton serve. We are predicting a straight sets victory for the American No. 1 seed, making the -1.5 sets at -112 one of the least risky bets.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Shelton Recent Form<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ben Shelton secures his first Masters 1000 title! &#128274;&#127942; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1IVDIGjfUb\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/1IVDIGjfUb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; US Open Tennis (@usopen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usopen\/status\/1953646359002874354?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nitto ATP Finals 2025: Round Robin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paris Masters 2025: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swiss Indoors 2025: Round of 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shanghai Masters 2025: Round of 64<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>US Open 2025: Round of 32<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Francisco Comesana Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hong Kong Tennis Open 2026: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paris Masters 2025: Round of 64<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swiss Indoors 2025: Qualifying<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>European Open Brussels 2025: Round of 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shanghai Masters 2025: Round of 64<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Shelton vs Francisco Comesana Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>The head-to-head record between Ben Shelton and Francisco Comesana is currently 0-0.
