Ben Shelton rallied from a set down to beat American qualifier Marcos Giron 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-4 on Saturday at the Japan Open to reach his first tour final.

The 21-year-old Shelton, playing in consecutive tournament semifinals after reaching the same stage last week in Shanghai, will play Aslan Karatsev in Sunday's final.“It’s a huge achievement for me and my team, especially the way the match panned out today,” Shelton said. “Definitely one of the toughest matches I’ve played in my life. Marcos was waxing me from the baseline in almost every rally and I had to completely change my game to even have a chance against him.

Karatsev ended Japanese wild-card entry Shintaro Mochizuki's dream run 6-3, 6-4 to advance to his first tour-level final since Sydney in January 2022.
