'That Was One I Wanted Really Bad': Shelton Turns Table On Cobolli In Acapulco
Mexican Pacific Coast: After edging past Flavio Cobolli in the first round of the Mexican Open, Ben Shelton admitted he couldn’t afford to let history repeat itself. Having lost to Cobolli twice before the match, the American was determined to turn the tide, sealing a win he "wanted really bad."
The lefty battled past Cobolli 7-6(4), 7-6(4) to reach the second round of the Mexican Open on Tuesday (IST). Awaiting Shelton in the second round will be David Goffin, who breezed past Rinky Hijikata 6-2, 6-3.
“That was one I wanted really bad. For me, I won the first set in the first two matches and ended up going down a break in the second, losing the second, and ultimately losing in three sets. So for me, I wanted to fight back there, complete it in two, and get off the court," Sheldon said in an on-court interview.
