Ben Shelton rallies to beat Karen Khachanov in Toronto final
TORONTO (AP) — Ben Shelton won the National Bank Open on Thursday night for the third and biggest title of his young career Thursday night, rallying to beat 11th -seeded Karen Khachanov of Russia 6-7 (5), 6-4, 7-6 (3). The 22-year-old Shelton, seeded fourth in Masters 1000 hard-court event, had 16 aces in the final. He also won on hard courts in Tokyo in 2023 and on clay in Houston last year. Shelton will move to a career-high sixth in the world. He outlasted Khachanov a night after topping second-seeded Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-3 in an all-American semifinal match. The 29-year-old Khachanov has seven career victories — all on hard courts. In the semifinals, he survived a match point in another third-set tiebreaker against top-seeded Alexander Zverev. Top-ranked Jannik Sinner — the 2023 winner in Toronto — and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz skipped the expanded event as they prepare the U.S. Open. Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool won the all-English doubles final, saving four match points in a 6-3, 6-7 (5), 13-11 victory over Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski. The second-seeded Wimbledon champions have won 19 straight matches. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press

Wimbledon: Anisimova-Swiatek in women's final as Rinky Hijikata eyes doubles title
Rinky Hijikata will play for a share of $1.4 million (AUD) in prizemoney when he and David Pel face all-conquering British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool in the doubles final. The son of Japanese immigrants who started playing tennis as a three-year-old, Hinjikata is on the cusp of his biggest achievement on the court to date. While he has an Australian Open doubles title triumph on his CV already, a Wimbledon win would be another brilliant string on the bow for the 24-year-old Sydneysider. But he and Dutchman Pel will be huge underdogs, as they face a pairing who have twice won the Wimbledon title (2022-23). Rinky Hijikata will play the men's doubles final. Picture: Getty Images The doubles decider is the entree to the women's singles final, where a new champion is guaranteed for the eighth conscutive year. Five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek had previously never gone beyond the quarter-finals at the All England Club while US 13th seed Amanda Anisimova is preparing for her first major final. No player has retained the crown since the now-retired Serena Williams won her seventh and final Wimbledon title in 2016. Aryna Sabalenka started as the hot favourite after reaching the past three Grand Slam finals but faltered in a gripping semi-final against Anisimova. Poland's Swiatek is seeded eighth at Wimbledon following a disappointing first half of the season, though she is back up to fourth in the rankings after reaching the final of the grass-court Bad Homburg tournament. That run, together with her surge through the draw at All England Club, suggests the 24-year-old is cured of her grass-court allergy. Read related topics: Wimbledon
