I feel bad for Shelton that y’all hype him up soooo much. I’m excited for him and like him a lot. But it’s a lot of pressure, let him develop
Media slated for hyping up Shelton facing Alcaraz and exaggerating Toronto tie: "It's a lot of pressure, let him develop"

Tennis fans expressed surprise after the media’s hype for a match between Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton.
The two are set to face off in the second round of the Omnium Banque Nationale Canadian Open on Wednesday.
There has been some hype in the media regarding the clash which confused a lot of fans. Some stated that the move is likely to put more pressure on Shelton.
While both are 20 years old, there is a contrasting difference in the trajectory of their respective careers.
Alcaraz is currently the world's number one player and is coming on the back of his first Wimbledon triumph where he defeated the current world number two Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in a five-set thrilling final with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
He will also be defending his crown at the upcoming US Open which he won last year after beating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final with a score of 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–3.
On the other hand, Shelton’s most impressive performance in any Grand Slam came earlier this year in the Australian Open where he was knocked out from the quarterfinal stage after losing to fellow American Tommy Paul with a score of 7-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.
