FRIDAY. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER ONE. AND WE GOT TO BRING THE ENERGY AGAIN. LET'S GET IT. >> BEN ALWAYS BRINGING THE ENERGY. HE REFERENCED THE QUARTERFINAL MATCHUP LAST YEAR. IT IS THIRD ROUND THIS YEAR. THEY ALSO PLAYED IN THE FINAL IN HOUSTON THIS YEAR. SHELTON'S WON BOTH OF THE MATCHES. WHAT DOES TIAFOE NEED TO DO TO TURN IT AROUND. >> I THINK THE BIGGEST THING FOR FRANCES IS TO TAKE CARE OF HIS SERVE. OBVIOUSLY AGAINST BEN SHELTON, HE CAN HOLD AT WILL. IT CAN BE TOUGH TO GET OPPORTUNITIES TO BREAK IF SHELTON IS SERVING AT HIS BEST. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A MATCH WHERE YOU'VE GOT TO STAY INTENSE. YOU'VE GOT TO STAY FOCUSED. WHEN YOU HAVE THE BALLS IN YOUR HANDS. SOMETIMES TIAFOE CAN HAVE THOSE LITTLE DIPS AND THAT IS WHAT HE CANNOT AFFORD, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF SETS. I THINK HE'S BROUGHT SOME GOOD INTENSITY. TIAFOE HAS AND CERTAINLY THE CONFIDENCE HE'S GOTTEN FROM, YOU KNOW, HIS LATEST WINS. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO HELP. BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG BLOCKBUSTER MATCH. AND YOU KNOW WHO CAN TAKE THEIR CHANCES? WHO CAN HAVE THAT BELIEF AND THAT CONFIDENCE IN THE BIG MOMENTS. THAT'S I THINK WHAT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, TELLING THE TALE OF THIS MATCH. >> NO. >> WHO IS GOING TO WIN OVER THE CROWD I THINK WILL PLAY A ROLE IN THIS. THESE ARE BOTH HIGH ENERGY PLAYERS. BUT I THINK I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. AND LOOK AT SHELTON'S RETURN STATS POST WIMBLEDON GETTING ON THE HARD COURTS HERE. HE'S BEEN DOING HIS USUAL THING. THE LEFTY SERVE AND THE BIG BOMBS AND THE OOHS AND AHS WHEN HE GOES NORTH OF 140. BUT HE'S BEEN RETURNING REALLY, REALLY WELL. A LOT OF BREAKS, A LOT OF BREAKS EARLY IN SETS, WHICH GIVES HIMSELF SOME CUSHION. WATCH THE FRANCES RETURN GAMES. THOSE WILL BE CRITICAL, AND THEN IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHICH OF THE TWO WINS OVER THE CROWD, BECAUSE LAST YEAR IT SORT OF WAVERED FROM SET TO SET. >> BOTH ARE PLAYING AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL. SO THE GOOD NEWS IS I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME VERY HIGH QUALITY TENNIS BETWEEN THESE TWO. IT'LL BE A TIGHTER AFFAIR THAN I THINK WE SAW IN THE QUARTERFINALS LAST YEAR. I THINK FRANCES NEEDS THIS MORE THAN SHELTON. I THINK HE'S GOING TO. HE'S ZERO AND TWO AGAINST HIM. HE LOST THIS BIG ONE AT HIS EVENT AS HE LIKES TO CALL IT LAST YEAR. SO I THINK FOR HIS CONFIDENCE HE'S ON THE UPWARD TRAJECTORY. HE NEEDS TO USE THAT SINCERE RESULT. KEEP BUILDING ON IT, GET BACK TO WHERE HE WAS CAREER HIGH RANKING IN THE TOP TEN X'S AND O'S WISE, THEY BOTH HIT HUGE SHOTS. THEY BOTH MAKE SOME MISTAKES, BUT BEN'S BACKHAND, HE HASN'T REALLY BEEN PRESSED ON IT ALL THAT OFTEN. FRANCES IS ONE OF THOSE VERY FEW GUYS ON THE TOUR WHO CAN ACTUALLY PRESS YOU ON IT. I'D LOVE TO SEE FRANCES CONTINUE TO ATTACK, CONTINUE TO COME IN, MAKE BEN PASS OFF THAT BACKHAND SIDE. AND I KNOW BEN IS GOING TO TRY TO PUT HIM ON THE DEFENSIVE. IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING THAT COMBINED, AS JOHN SAID, WITH THE BODY LANGUAGE AND THE CROWD, THERE'S A LOT THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE HERE. >> WHO'S GOING TO BE
