Where & how to watch Alexander Zverev vs Ben Shelton; Cincinnati Open 2025 quarter-final clash

Alexander Zverev will be aiming for his first win over Ben Shelton on hard courts.

Rising American tennis star Ben Shelton will face seasoned German Alexander Zverev in a scintillating quarter-final showdown at the Cincinnati Open 2025, scheduled for Friday, August 15, at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio.

Zverev arrives with momentum and pedigree: the World No. 3 has been solid on hard courts this season, owning an 18-5 record and capturing the Munich title. In Cincinnati, he moved past Nishesh Basavareddy, Brandon Nakashima, and advanced against Karen Khachanov via walkover in the fourth round.

Fifth seed Shelton brings a wave of confidence and consistency. His campaign in the Cincinnati Open 2025 included wins over Roberto Bautista Agut and Jiří Lehečka, advancing him into the final eight. With his nine-match winning streak intact, Shelton is on the cusp of a breakthrough.

Zverev holds a flawless 3–0 edge over Shelton, including their most recent encounters this season in Munich and Stuttgart. Zverev won both matches in straight sets. A win here would bring Shelton closer to cracking the elite ranks, pushing him to a possible Top 5 ranking, while Zverev seeks to reaffirm his dominance.
