Ben Shelton is headed to his first ATP Masters 1000 final after taking down World No. 4 Taylor Fritz at the National Bank Open in Toronto.

Fourth-seeded Ben Shelton beat second-seeded Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-3 in an all-American semifinal match Wednesday night in the National Bank Open Open.

With the withdrawal of many top-ranked players like Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper, and Novak Djokovic from the Canadian Open, the tournament served as a good opportunity for other players to capitalize on this absence and improve their ranking and title record.
