Coleman Wong defeated Ben Shelton 7–6, 2–6, 7–6 in the first round of the Miami Masters on hard court, pulling off a significant upset against the heavily favoured American, who carried odds of 1.11 to Wong's 7.89. The match proved competitive in the opening and closing sets, both decided in tiebreaks, though Shelton dominated the second set to level the contest. Wong's ability to recover and secure the decisive third-set tiebreak demonstrates mental resilience under pressure. The result marks a notable scalp for Wong at Masters level and raises questions about Shelton's consistency on hard courts at this stage of the season.
