Shelton Survives Opelka Battle
Ben Shelton defeated Reilly Opelka 6-7 7-6 6-3 in a tight opening-round clash in Indian Wells. Impressively, he did not face a single break point in the match.
Shelton’s rise into the top 10 has been driven by consistent results in major events. He won his maiden Masters title in Toronto last year before dealing with some physical issues toward the end of the season.
He has started the new season strongly, winning 10 of his 13 matches across three tournaments, including a quarterfinal run at the Australian Open and a title in Dallas.
Shelton’s results in Indian Wells have improved each year, second round in 2023, fourth round in 2024 and quarterfinal last year. He will hope to continue that trend this week.

Tien Shows Big-Match Composure
