    "editor1": "Briton Daniel Evans: America's Ben Shelton survived a stern test from tricky Briton Daniel Evans to find a way into the second round of the Mexican Open with a 2-6, 7-5, 7-6(5) win in two hours and 45 minutes.\n<p>After Shelton played an untidy first set full of errors, he found his game in the second set. Interestingly Shelton began winning many of the longer points against Evans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Serving at 4-5, 0\/40 in the decider, Evans bounced back to stay in the match. Shelton\u2019s big opportunity came at 15\/40, when he missed a makeable forehand passing shot from well behind the baseline, ATP reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 33-year-old Evans broke in the next game, but was unable to serve out the match and paid for it in the ensuing tie-break. Shelton completed his victory with a swinging forehand volley winner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In another American-British match, the Briton Jack Draper ousted seventh seed Tommy Paul 6-0, 6-4 in one hour and 26 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was the third ATP Head2Head encounter of the year between the pair and Draper moved to 2-1 in those meetings by converting all three of his break points according to ATP Stats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
