Initially struggling, Auger-Aliassime rallied to force a decider with a crucial tiebreak victory, eventually overcoming Shelton on his third match point.

Both Auger-Aliassime and Shelton were seeking redemption after losing their opening round-robin matches. While the American's powerful serve dominated the initial set, the Canadian's perseverance paid off, marking his first win of the tournament.

Meanwhile, the Bjorn Borg Group's top chances rest on Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, and Alexander Zverev, a two-time winner, who are set to compete later on Wednesday.
