Shelton Claims First ATP Masters 1000 Title In Toronto
American ATP Masters: Ben Shelton won the biggest title of his career to-date after claiming the Canadian Open men's singles crown after a pulsating final 6-7(5), 6-4, 7-6(3) victory against Karen Khachanov.
Shelton becomes the youngest American ATP Masters 1000 champion since 21-year-old Andy Roddick won the 2004 Miami title. He also surged to fourth in the ATP Live Race to Turin, boosting his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals in November.
After edging two matches in the earlier rounds in third-set tiebreaks, Shelton had to do it again in final. He dropped the opening set in a breaker but fought back to take the second. In the shootout at 6-6, he raced out to a quick 3-0 lead which he never surrendered, finishing off the win on his second match point. The final lasted two hours and 48 minutes.
