What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the ATP Japan Open?
Ben Shelton, who had entered the tournament as an unseeded player, overcame a fellow unseeded player Aslan Karatsev in the final to clinch the title. Shelton won the final 7-5, 6-1.
This was after Shelton had earlier dumped out Tommy Paul in the quarterfinal, the only seeded player he faced in the entire tournament. Karatsev, on the other hand, surprised Frances Tiafoe in the first round and then eased past Alex de Minaur in the quarters.
Top seeded Taylor Fritz reached the second round with a win over Cameron Norrie but was stunned by local wildcard entrant Shintaro Mochuzuki. Mochuzuki would go on to make the semifinals.
Second seeded Casper Ruud also lost in the second round.
