Cameron Norrie v Ben Shelton Head to Head
The pair have never played each other before. This will be the first match between Norrie who is 26 years old, and the wildcard, seven years his junior.

Norrie Wins the Battle of the Brits
The Los Cabos runner-up Norrie has by no means had it easy so far in Cincinnati, and both his matches to date have gone to three sets.
He began with an encounter against another teenager, Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune, and, in a match that could have gone either way, he just edged out the world number 29.
That earned him a match-up with former world number one Andy Murray, in a so-called Battle of the Brits.
It was the Scot who started the stronger, and, after the pair swapped breaks at the start of the match, forced another dropped service game from Norrie to take the first set.
Norrie, though, having saved an early break point in the second set, regrouped, broke himself, and then fended off a Murray fightback by saving three more break points.
The third set went with serve, until Norrie, who had been increasing the pressure, finally broke again. That left him with the relatively simple task of serving out.

Teenage Wildcard Shelton Stuns Ruud
College champion Shelton has had a week he will not forget in a hurry.
The 19 year old, who made his tour level debut in Atlanta and earned a first round win there, was awarded a wildcard for Cincinnati and rewarded the organisers’ faith in him, by recording the biggest win of his career, in defeating Lorenzo Sonego of Italy, the world number 56, in three sets in their first round meeting.
That was, though, just a warm-up for what was to come next.
Few would have given him much chance against the world number five Casper Ruud, but the American proved too strong for the Norwegian, with an early break of set putting him in control of the first set.
He then broke Ruud in the opening game of the second set and never gave the fifth seed a sniff of a chance of getting back into it.
Instead, he broke him once more to wrap up an impressive victory.
Norrie v Shelton Prediction and Tip
After what Shelton did to Ruud, Norrie should be aware that he underestimates Shelton at his peril. Nevertheless, if he can find anything like his best form, he should be too strong for the teenage wildcard.
Tip: Norrie to win: 4/9 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
