How much prize money and how many points did Ben Shelton and Karen Khachanov earn at Canadian Open?
Ben Shelton has broke through the $9m mark for career prize money following his Canadian Open title run while he also boosted his points total in the ATP Rankings with his maiden ATP Masters 1000 trophy.
The American came from a set down to beat Karen Khachanov 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in the Montreal final to win the biggest title of his career as he had previously won the ATP 500 Japan Open in 2023 and the ATP 250 US Men’s Clay Court Championships in 2024.
Shelton admitted after the match that he was proud of digging himself out of a hole every time he was up against it against Khachanov.
“I mean, there were a lot of points, or a lot of times in the match where I felt I was resilient. Being up against it in the second set, the way that he was holding serve kind of going through his service games. He served first, so there’s scoreboard pressure,” the 22-year-old said.
“Then being down Love-40, trying to serve out the set, winning, I forget, five points in a row or whatever it was to hold that game was massive for me.
“Then just same thing in the third set. Scoreboard pressure, he’s getting through his games really easy, serving amazing, hitting great from the baseline. I just continued to match him, and keep holding, and then played an unbelievable tiebreaker. So I think that that was just kind of the name of the game for me.”
