Ben Shelton just dropped a jaw-dropping performance to win his second straight National Bank Open title, dismantling fellow American Brandon Nakashima with ruthless power and precision. Serving at 230 kph and not giving up a single break point, Shelton cruised to a 1-hour-27-minute victory, sealing his spot as the No. 6-ranked player with two ATP Masters 1000 crowns. Despite Nakashima’s spirited fight in the second set — including a tiebreak — Shelton’s early breaks proved decisive.
