Ben Shelton has improved his Nitto ATP Finals qualification hopes and jumped three spots to third in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin after reaching his first major final at the US Open.
The 23-year-old was aiming to become the first American man to win a Slam since Andy Roddick triumphed in New York in 2003. However, he was unable to find a way past Alexander Zverev, who is now a two-time major champion.
