Denis Shapovalov Wins ATP Dallas Title With Casper Ruud A Third Top-10 Victim
Canada's Denis Shapovalov completed a giant-killing run to the Dallas Open title on Sunday, defeating Norway's fifth-ranked Casper Ruud 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 for his third career ATP crown. Unseeded Shapovalov became only the fifth player since 2020 to knock out the three top seeds on the way to an ATP title and just the fourth player since 2009 to beat three top-10 rivals on the way to a 250- or 500-level title.
