Martin Landaluce says goodbye to his adventure at the Miami Masters 1,000 after losing in two sets against Ben Shelton by 6-3 y 6-4 in one hour and 25 minutes. The 18-year-old gave a surprise in the first round with a great victory over his compatriot Jaume Differences by winning in three sets 6-3, 1-6 and 7-5 in two and a half hours.
After achieving his first victory on the ATP circuit, the Rafa Nadal Academy tennis player became the first player born in 2006 to win a Masters 1,000 match, showing the great future he has ahead of him. However, the Madrid native could not continue adding victories on the ATP circuit and closes a very special week in the Florida tournament, after having been invited by the organization.
The match faced the Madrid native for the first time against a World top 20. A match full of youth in which the slight seniority of the American, who is three years older, has helped him advance to the next round. After finishing the match Shelton praisedwith a smile, the Spaniard’s performance when he greeted him at the net: “Hey, that last movement in the ‘deuce’ is what is going to make you a great player.”

Ben Shelton
Shelton awaits a rival for the third round, who will be the winner of the match between Lorenzo Musetti and Roman Safiullin. After losing in the round of 16 at Indian Wells against Jannik Sinner, the American wants to give a better version of his tennis at home.
