TORONTO — Ben Shelton, the American rising talent and world No. 7, made his first Grand Slam semifinal at the 2023 U.S. Open as a 20-year-old. Two years later, the box office showman has his maiden ATP Masters 1,000 title.

Ben Shelton apologised to Karen Khachanov after beating him in the Canadian Open final on Sunday night. The American softened the blow of Khachanov's defeat by sharing heartfelt words about the Russian and his team following a hard-fought match in Toronto.
