Predictions and odds for upcoming matches involving Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton.

Expressed for Casual Enthusiasts

Tomorrow, October 20, at 4:00 PM Moscow time, the quarterfinals of the Tokyo ATP series tournament will go down. Over here, we've got Tommy Paul (ranked #12) and Ben Shelton (ranked #19), both hailing from the good ol' USA.

Tommy "The Rock" Paul

Paul, a 26-year-old tennis beast, has scored one ATP title win and made it to the fourth round at the last Shanghai tournament before getting knocked by Andrei Rublev. He's been on a roll in Tokyo, taking down German Daniel Altmaier and compatriot Mackenzie McDonald.

Ben "The BenchWarmer" Shelton

Shelton, a 20-year-old up-and-comer, hasn't snagged any ATP titles yet, but don't count him out. He battled his way to the quarterfinals in Shanghai before losing to Sebastian Korda, but here in Tokyo, he's defeated local Tarō Daniel and Aussie Jordan Thompson.

Predicting the Winner

These two have sparred twice this year, with each taking a win. If you want to bet on a Paul win, you'll get 1.72 odds at Winline. Go for Shelton, and you'll get 2.13 odds. Both players have killer serves and nifty backhands, with both previous matches being close ones. We're expecting a nail-biter again, but with a high total score.
