    Rod Laver Arena: World No. 8 Ben Shelton overcame a dangerous opening-round draw of the Australian Open at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park on Day 3 of the first Grand Slam of the year to defeat Ugo Humbert.

    Shelton clinched a victory in a two-hour-37-minute thriller as he achieved a hard-fought victory, 6-3, 7-6(2), 7-6(5), over the French opponent to advance to the second round in Melbourne.

    Although the score indicates a straight-sets victory, the match was actually a tense battle that forced Shelton to play his best tennis when under pressure.
