Shelton played Griekspoor, one of the more known floaters on tour, then a string of former top 10 players PLUS Alcaraz. He deserves this title just because of that.
Reminder, John McEnroe suggested that Ben Shelton bring in another coach, someone besides his father, Bryan Shelton, who is one of the most qualified coaches in tennis. www.thetennisgazette.com/news/john-mc...

Him: They tell you not to put all your eggs in one basket, but isn't one basket easier to carry than like 3 or 4 baskets? I mean I think so. Her mind: I still don't like that they changed Aunt Viv. Do French Bulldogs bark in French? I should have brought a jacket.
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · 3w agoNeed Serena's thoughts here
This man has had truly shocking draws to reach the finals of RG and the US Open. Not a single top 20 player in the bunch.

A special type of person & everybody on tour can agree he's one of the few players who is always lighting up the room & giving respect towards, especially us women too, hyping us up. He's a rare person in this world & in this sport.

The matches were great; the tournament needs an overdue fix. www.benrothenberg.com/p/us-open-la...
