Just moments after the tense exchange on the court during the final handshake between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli at the ATP Toronto 2025, the American player himself clarified the reason for the argument: "He made a gesture in the tiebreak and I asked him about it. He said it wasn't directed at me, so all good," said a rather serious Shelton, but making it clear that the issue doesn't go beyond that.
