Summary
- Ben Shelton qualifies for ATP Finals for the first time

- Wins maiden ATP Masters 1000 title at Canadian Open
Ben Shelton, the 23-year-old American tennis player, is set to make his debut at the 2025 ATP Finals, scheduled to start on November 11, 2025. Shelton has experienced a remarkable season, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open and the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters, becoming the youngest American to achieve the latter feat since Andy Roddick in 2004.
Following his strong performance at the Stuttgart Open, Shelton broke into the top 10 for the first time in his career. He then went on to claim his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title at the Canadian Open, further cementing his status as one of the rising stars in American tennis.
After the Asian hard-court swing, Shelton competed at the Paris Masters, where he reached the quarterfinals before falling to eventual champion Jannik Sinner. This result secured Shelton a spot in the prestigious year-end eight-player field of the ATP Finals.
In the lead-up to the event, Shelton's fellow American player, Taylor Townsend, and his girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, have expressed their support and excitement for the young talent. Townsend, who won the Australian Open doubles title this year, called Shelton the "best mixed doubles player in the world" after they reached the quarterfinals of the US Open mixed doubles event together.
As Shelton prepares to make his ATP Finals debut, the tennis world eagerly awaits to see if the American prodigy can cap off his breakout season with a strong performance on the biggest stage.
