Shanghai Masters: Ben Shelton Downs Shapovalov; Paul And Muller Win
Roberto Carballes Baena: Ben Shelton continued his remarkable run in the opening rounds of major tournaments, beating Canadian qualifier Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 7-5 to move into the third round of the Shanghai Masters, an ATP Masters 1000 tennis tournament.
Facing a familiar opponent for the third time this season, Shelton never faced a break point in the one-hour, 17-minute match and made critical adjustments as Shapovalov, having changed up his usual tactics, tried to unsettle the American.
"I think some of the tendencies and things that I expected, he changed it up today," Shelton said post-match. I was surprised by some of the things he did on the court. I'm trying to work on being a little bit more calm and focused on the court," Shelton explained. It's important for my evolution, and I think I did a great job of staying committed to my game style today."
