Ben Shelton set to make top 20 debut next week after US Open run in latest milestone for rising American
ATPThursday, 07 September 2023 at 01:00
America’s young tennis star Ben Shelton is set to make his
way into the top 20 players in the ATP rankings.
The 20-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young
players in the circuit and has showcased his talent in the ongoing US Open 2023
as well.
Shelton booked his place in the semifinal of the fourth and
final Grand Slam of the year after defeating fellow American Frances Tiafoe
6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2 on Tuesday.
It will be the first appearance of the Atlanta born in the semifinal
of any major tournament and while doing so, he became the youngest American to achieve
that feat since Michael Chang in 1992.
With that performance, Shelton is now set to enter the top 20
players in the ATP rankings and next week, he will be making his debut as a
part of the 20 best players on the planet.
Shelton will be hoping to improve those rankings even further
as he is now just two wins away from winning his first Grand Slam.
He is now set to face the 23-time Grand Slam winner Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in the last-four clash on Friday.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
