ATP 250. DALLAS.TX
Ben Shelton staged an epic comeback against Taylor Fritz to claim the ATP Dallas title in an all-American final. The young left-hander saved match points and held firm in the most critical moments. With a character-filled reaction, he lifted the trophy after an unforgettable match.7
Having lost the opening set, nothing stopped the No. 9-ranked player in the PIF ATP Rankings from winning 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 for his first Dallas title and a 121-79 career record on the ATP Tour.
It seemed almost impossible when he faced 15/40 serving in the 4-5 of the decider. Perhaps being unable to confirm the 3-2 break or capitalize on 0/30 in the 3-3 had taken its toll. Whatever it was, he bounced back: saving those first two match points, and then one more in the same game to gain unstoppable momentum
