SHELTON WAVES TO CROWD / CROWD CHEERING STORY: Top-seeded Taylor Fritz fought off a stiff test from U.S. countryman Marcos Giron to earn a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (1) win in the first round of the Nexo Dallas Open on Tuesday (February 10). Fritz posted a 21-9 edge in aces and won 81% of his first-serve points. However, he managed to break Giron's serve in just two of his 10 opportunities. Croatia's Marin Cilic edged sixth-seeded Learner Tien of the U.S. 7-5, 7-6 (4). It was the 600th career ATP Tour win for Cilic, 37, who joined Serbia's Novak Djokovic (1,168) as the only active players to reach that milestone. He also passed Goran Ivanisevic's total of 599 wins to top the all-time list among Croatians. Cilic will face another American in Dallas with either Trevor Svajda or Ethan Quinn up next. Second-seeded Ben Shelton of the United States bested Canada's Gabriel Diallo 6-4, 6-4, but two other seeded players fell. Great Britain's Jack Pinnington Jones trounced fourth-seeded Flavio Cobolli of Italy 6-2, 6-2. (Production: Revathi Hariharan)
