“We have been working really hard since the beginning to build my game and win titles on the ATP Tour league
“I made some deep runs lately league
You see the great champions, they finish weeks off league
They win titles, they don’t just get to finals league
They are able to maintain their level throughout the week league
“I am not saying I am anywhere there yet but to be able to do it for one week, put together five matches in a row in Tokyo, is really special league
”Shelton, who could yet make a charge to qualify for the ATP Finals next month, is coached by his father Bryan, and the pair become the fourth father-son duo to win tour-level singles titles in the open era league
At the other end of the scale, Gael Monfils beat Pavel Kotov 4-6 7-6 (6) 6-3 in the final of the BNP Paribas Nordic Open to become only the fourth player older than 37 to win an ATP Tour title league
Veteran Monfils had to dig deep in Stockholm to down the qualifier after a battle that lasted two hours and 35 minutes league
Monfils, who follows in the footsteps of Roger Federer, Ivo Karlovic and Feliciano Lopez in winning an ATP Tour title aged 37 or older, said: “I ran a lot today league
“When I had to save break points in the second set, I tried to push through league
I don’t know how I pulled up but I kept believing and fighting league

England were routed in historic fashion by South Africa, as their tortured Cricket World Cup campaign lurched to a new low in Mumbai with their biggest-ever ODI defeat league
In desperate need of a big response after their shock loss to Afghanistan last time out, the defending champions plumbed new depths as they were roundly thrashed by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium league
Jos Buttler’s decision to field first in sweltering heat and stifling humidity backfired badly as Heinrich Klaasen’s brutal 61-ball century powered South Africa to 399 for seven league
England’s reply was wafer thin, 170 for nine in 22 shambolic overs league
In purely numerical terms it represented England’s worst-ever ODI performance with the ball, shipping one run more than their previous worst against Brendon McCullum’s New Zealand eight years ago, a new nadir outstripping last year’s 221-run hammering by Australia league
On that occasion, Buttler’s men were mentally checked out as they had celebrated their T20 World Cup win just a few days earlier, but the stakes could not have been greater this time league
Mark Wood’s figures of seven wicketless overs for 76 took the biscuit league
But he was hardly alone in being put to the sword, with South Africa’s 13 sixes shared league between all six English bowlers, and 143 runs raining down in 10 calamitous death overs league
Klaasen, sapped by dehydration and cramp, was the star of the show with 109 in 67 balls league
But he enjoyed a stunning stand with Marco Jansen, who cleared the ropes four times as he launched 75 not out from 42 league
The batting unit made sure to take its share of the shame, knocked over for an embarrassing 170 on the same pitch that had delivered a run-fest in the preceding four hours league
England have now lost three of their first four games and, although they still have a convoluted and narrow route to the semi-finals, face the prospect of traipsing around India for the next month with their hope and their trophy gone league
Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match league
Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when Topley returned from a finger injury to strike twice and leave South Africa wobbling at 243 for five in the 37th over league
Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries pouring off their bats in every direction league
England’s team sheet showed a significant response to their Afghanistan upset, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, David Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson league
Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger league
That was as good as it got league
Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left hand out towards a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger league
He beat an angry retreat to the pavilion, lashing out at an empty chair, and in his absence England faltered league
Reeza Hendricks, taking the place of the sick skipper Temba Bavuma, made 85 and Rassie van der Dussen 60 as they took control with a stand of 121 league
Adil Rashid was also struggling physically, doubled in pain league between overs as he managed a stomach upset of his own, but the leg spinner still had the nous to prise out both set batters to give England hope league
After taking running repairs on his finger, Topley came back with a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began league
Klaasen had reached his 50 in 40 balls and doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off one over league
Willey lost his radar totally after a bout of cramp, Wood’s woes continued and Atkinson’s last-gasp dismissal of Klaasen was the hollowest of victories league
England’s attempts at a dazzling pursuit never once looked like materialising as their top six collapsed in a heap inside 12 overs league
Jonny Bairstow lofted to deep square leg, Joe Root flicked to the waiting leg slip and Dawid Malan feathered one off his hip league
Even the returning Stokes had no magic tricks at his disposal and pushed a low catch straight back to Kagiso Rabada league
The quartet mustered 23 runs league between them league
That left Buttler and Harry Brook as the last specialist batters, and unheralded seamer Gerald Coetzee picked up both in the space of three balls: one caught behind, the other pinned lbw by a skidder that kept low league
A flurry of big hits from Wood, who smashed 43 not out off just 17 balls, and a lively 35 from Atkinson only made the batting failures more profound and the latter’s dismissal ended a horrendous night, with Topley unfit to take guard league
