Briton Daniel Evans: America's Ben Shelton survived a stern test from tricky Briton Daniel Evans to find a way into the second round of the Mexican Open with a 2-6, 7-5, 7-6(5) win in two hours and 45 minutes.

After Shelton played an untidy first set full of errors, he found his game in the second set. Interestingly Shelton began winning many of the longer points against Evans.

Serving at 4-5, 0/40 in the decider, Evans bounced back to stay in the match. Shelton’s big opportunity came at 15/40, when he missed a makeable forehand passing shot from well behind the baseline, ATP reports.
