While Shelton quickly provided a solution: "I'll bring you towels."

Taylor Fritz had the opportunity to become the champion of the ATP 500 Dallas 2026, but he ended up succumbing in a thrilling match against his compatriot Ben Shelton. During the press conference, he appeared calm and understanding with himself, despite not being able to capitalize on any of the three championship points he had. "I expected to be more upset. The loss hurts, but not as much as I had anticipated. I think it's because I have no regrets about how I played or how I faced those match points. I don't regret anything," he stated.
