"I can bring some things to the table that you don't see in your normal ATP match": Shelton believes in chances against Djokovic
ATPThursday, 07 September 2023 at 09:00
America’s young tennis sensation Ben Shelton believes his unique style of play gives him an edge in the upcoming US Open 2023 semifinal.
The 20-year-old is one of the most highly-rated youngsters in the circuit but has still surpassed everyone’s expectations as he booked his place in the last four of the mega-event after defeating fellow American Frances Tiafoe with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2.
Shelton, who will be playing in his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal, will go up against Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic.
Despite being stacked against the odds in a match against one of the all-time greats, the Atlanta-born believes he has a chance because of his unique style of play.

"I also think that, you know, it's an advantage with my game style playing someone who's never played me before,” he said. “I think that I can bring some things to the table that maybe you don't see in your normal match that you play on the ATP Tour.
"So I'm definitely going to try to bring some things to the table that are different and hopefully disruptive.”
The much-awaited contest between Shelton and the 23-time Grand Slam winner and the current world number two will take place on Friday in New York.
