Nexo dallas open

Nexo Dallas Open: Ben Shelton survived a major test from fellow lefty Denis Shapovalov before prevailing in a final-set tiebreak to reach the Dallas Open final.

The second-seeded American defeated the defending champion 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(4). He saved 10 of the 11 break points he faced, including a crucial save with a clutch volley at 2-2 in the second set and another save at 5-5 in the third set.

Shelton will face top seed Taylor Fritz in the final. Fritz halted the run of a resurgent Marin Cilic in the semi-finals of the Nexo Dallas Open on Saturday.
