How & Where To Watch Ben Shelton vs. Jakub Mensik? Start Time, Live Streaming and TV Channels for Canadian Open
Czechia's Jakub Mensik faces his toughest challenge in Ben Shelton at ATP Montreal.
Defending Canadian Open champion Ben Shelton has reached the quarterfinals this year, where he will face Jakub Mensik. This is an important tournament for the American, who has experienced plenty of highs and lows during his 2026 season.
Shelton doesn't have a positive head-to-head record against Mensik, either. The two have met three times, with Mensik leading their rivalry 2-1. Their most recent meeting came more than a year ago at the Madrid Open, where the Czech player won a tight three-set battle.
Ben Shelton's 2026 Season: Highs and Lows
Shelton has already enjoyed some impressive moments this season, winning titles on three different surfaces. He lifted the trophy on hard courts in Dallas, clay in Munich, and grass in Stuttgart, making 2026 the most successful year of his career in terms of titles won in a single season.
However, his Grand Slam performances have been a major point of frustration. Shelton made a strong start at the Australian Open by reaching the quarterfinals, but he managed only a second-round appearance at Roland Garros before suffering a first-round exit at Wimbledon.

That contrast has made his run at the Canadian Open particularly important as he looks to build momentum heading into the final stretch of the season. The US Open, his home Grand Slam, will be another major opportunity for Shelton, especially with a large American crowd expected to support him at Flushing Meadows.
Shelton is also projected to earn a Top 8 seed at the Cincinnati Masters, which follows the Canadian Open. With the North American hard-court swing now underway, the American will be hoping to turn his strong results at the smaller tournaments into a deeper run at the biggest events.
