The Spaniard failed to cut the US Open, losing in straight sets to Dutchman Van de Zandschulp in the second round. Before that, Carlos had beaten Australian Tu in four games. After the unsuccessful Majors, the Spaniard played two Davis Cup matches for his country. The match against Mahach was not finished. The Czech retired before the start of the third game, and Alcaraz beat Humbert in two games, 6-3, 6-3.

Ben did not play in the Davis Cup. The last tournament for the American was the US Open, where Shelton only reached the third round. Ben met Francis Tiafoe in the third round and lost to the semi-finalist in five sets, with Shelton leading 1-0 and 2-1. Before losing Tiafoe, Shelton had beaten Dominic Thiem and Roberto Bautista-Agut.

We are on the side of the Spaniard in this pairing, believing that 90% of the outcome of the upcoming match will depend on the tone and attitude of the world number three. Alcaraz failed to cut the US Majors but has since played well in two Davis Cup matches. On the other hand, Shelton hasn't been seen since the American's exit from the TBS in New York. Carlos also has experience beating the American, having defeated Shelton in straight sets at the Toronto Masters over a year ago.
