TURIN, Italy (AP) — Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada claimed his first win at this year’s ATP Finals by battling back to beat American Ben Shelton 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5 on Wednesday.

Both had lost their opening matches at the season-ending event for the top eight men’s players. But Auger-Aliassime managed to showcase his trademark indoor brilliance to leave the eighth seed with a chance of reaching the semifinals.

“He was playing much better than me at the start. It’s not often that I get broken twice in the first set indoors,” Auger-Aliassime said. “It was a weird start, but as the match went on I was finding ways to put returns in the court.

“Once we engaged in the rallies, I felt like I could win more. You just have to fight, believe, and play the next point the right way.”
