Munar secured an early break in the first set and maintained his serve with precision, taking it 6-3. He was equally composed in the second, capitalizing on Shelton&rsquo;s errors to break once more and seal the win.<\/p><p>Shelton entered the match still finding rhythm after returning from a knee injury that forced him to miss several events, including the Tokyo Open, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup. His first-round victory in Basel had been his first in Europe in months, but he could not carry that momentum forward. Even with landing 82% of first serves, he won only 61% of those points and failed to convert his lone break opportunity.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jaume Munar officially becomes Ben Shelton's \"daddy\" beating the American 3x this season to reach the Basel QF (2 indoor hard, 1 clay):<br><br>Dallas &ndash; 6-2, 7-6<br>Rome &ndash; 6-2, 6-1<br>Basel &ndash; 6-3, 6-4<br><br>This wasn't on my bingo card &#128557; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8L4tQtqdoH\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/8L4tQtqdoH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Christian's Court (@christianscourt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/christianscourt\/status\/1981385060155556322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Munar, on the other hand, remained consistent under pressure.

I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn\u2019t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren\\'t noise; they\\'re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_rudradubey__\/","https:\/\/x.com\/Rudradubey1997"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rudra\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638710"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638710"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":638712,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638710\/revisions\/638712"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
