US Open finalist Shelton dumped out in Shanghai third round

Unseeded Arthur Gea pulled off a major upset at the Shanghai Masters on Sunday by eliminating third seed Ben Shelton in straight sets, winning 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/3) to secure the biggest victory of his career. The 21-year-old Frenchman managed his first-ever win against a top-10 opponent by maintaining strict concentration throughout the grueling encounter that extended past two hours.

Shelton admitted after the match that physical readiness issues, jet lag, and a lack of recent tournament play following the US Open and Davis Cup contributed to his defeat.
