Ben Shelton won his first Masters 1000 at the ATP Toronto 2025 after defeating a tough Karen Khachanov. The American player, ranked 7th in the world, overcame his Russian opponent with a score of 6-7(5), 6-4, and 7-6(3) in 2 hours and 48 minutes of intense competition where everything happened, including the comeback that leads him to rank 6th in the world, his best ranking so far.

The match between the American and the Russian unfolded as the typical hard court battle, with serving being crucial, powerful shots where if you blink, you miss it. Although Ben took the initiative in the early games, riding on his serve and an effective net game, Karen made the first dent on the scoreboard that disoriented his rival, just as the crowd's celebration over Mboko's victory in Montreal.

With his back against the wall and a bit of luck, Shelton bridged the gap to stay in a seemingly endless battle. The American had three set points to take the lead, but the resilience of a relentless Karen edged out the young tennis player in the tiebreak.

Maximum equality until the last moment

The tension escalated as the scoreboard remained level, with technical issues from the arbitration technological system causing some chaos among the players. While the European player tried his best to stay strong on his side, Ben saw the reward for his boldness as he leveled the match and extended the fight.

The decisive moment was approaching, and neither was willing to give in. Shelton's bravery clashed with Khachanov's consistency from the baseline, with absolute equality reigning throughout the match up to the final tiebreak. Although at times it seemed like the Russian's experience was prevailing over the American's youth, Ben sealed his victory on his second match point to show that he is ready to take the big leap on the circuit.
