There will be an American final at the ATP Dallas 2026, after Ben Shelton overcame the defending champion, Denis Shapovalov, but not without having to work hard against the Canadian, who pushed him from start to finish. Even so, the Atlanta native managed to prevail in key moments and secured the victory 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(4), after two hours and 38 minutes of play. In this way, the world number 9 will compete for his fourth ATP title against his compatriot Taylor Fritz, who defeated Marin Cilic in another close match (7-6(5), 7-6(3)).
