    Lexus ATP Head2Head: American Ben Shelton on Wednesday made a confident start to his campaign at the grass-court ATP 250 Stuttgart Open here with a 7-6(4), 7-5 win over the resilient Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

    Shelton crucially saved all four break points he faced in the second set, according to Infosys ATP Stats, before converting his first break point of the set in the 11th game to lead 6-5. The American then served out the match to set a quarter-final meeting with Jiri Lehecka.

    With his one-hour, 50-minute win, Shelton jumped two spots to No. 10 in the ATP Live Rankings. The 22-year-old lefty is guaranteed to break the Top 10 in the ATP Rankings for the first time next Monday should he perform better in Stuttgart than Daniil Medvedev does at this week’s Libema Open in 's-Hertogenbosch.
