Fritz broke Shelton's serve in the second game, then held on to take a 1-0 lead in sets.
In the second set, Shelton made the decisive break in the eighth game, only to serve in the next game to confirm the overall tie at 1:1.
Shelton was the first to break in the third set, in the third game, but Fric fought back in the sixth game. In the 10th game, Fric had three match points on his opponent's serve, two of which were tied, but he was unable to finish the duel.
