Félix Auger-Aliassime staged a great comeback against Ben Shelton to secure his first victory in the ATP Finals 2025. The American started strong, but once the Canadian got into the match, Shelton tactically struggled. He barely targeted Auger-Aliassime's weak shot, which is his backhand. In fact, Shelton hit a total of 142 forehands versus only 51 backhands throughout the match. A gift from Shelton that Auger-Aliassime didn't hesitate to capitalize on.

Head-scratching rally distribution here from Shelton. No detectable bias towards Felix's backhand in the overall numbers.

He was slightly above his average in taking the forehand crosscourt, but way below his average taking his backhand down the line.
