ONTARIO, CANADA, AUG 5 – Ben Shelton served 11 aces and ended Alex de Minaur's seven-match hard-court winning streak to reach his first Masters 1000 semifinal, setting up an all-American clash with Taylor Fritz.
- Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton reached the semifinals of the 2025 Canadian Open in Toronto after winning their quarterfinal matches on Tuesday.
- In their first meeting on the tour, Shelton overcame Australian Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4, while Taylor Fritz secured a straight-sets win over sixth-ranked Andrey Rublev, finishing 6-3, 7-6 after a closely contested match.
- Fritz fired 20 aces and broke Rublev early to take control, while Shelton found rhythm and consistently applied pressure, breaking de Minaur multiple times amid humid conditions.
