Ben Shelton reaches the third round of the Shanghai Masters, celebrating his 24th birthday with a 6-3, 7-6 (6) win over Daniel Altmaier. The two outlets agree Shelton is a U.S. Open runner-up and that the match is played at the ATP 1000-level event.
Alexander Zverev also advances, with Top-seeded Zverev beating Chinese wild-card entry Wu Yibing 6-4, 7-6 (4). One outlet adds additional context about Shelton’s recent schedule, saying he played Davis Cup for the United States after the U.S. Open and lost both singles matches, while withdrawing from the Laver Cup team event. Another outlet focuses mainly on Shelton’s birthday win and third-round qualification.
