"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.

- 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".
