Marcos Giron, ranked No. 84, knocked off World No. 5 Ben Shelton at the Boss Open, taking it 7-6(7) on grass. The number that flipped the gap: Giron piled up 34 of 40 first-serve points (85%) and never faced more than one break point all match, saving it. Shelton's lone leak was the return — he managed just 6 of 40 (15%) against the first serve and couldn't pry open the tiebreak. It was their third meeting, first on grass, and Giron's first win in the series.
